The crisis created by the lack of a federal medical cannabis program is hidden from the public eye, creating a sense among potential supporters, policymakers, and even many cannabis advocates that the fight for safe access has already been won. This means fewer individuals engaging in advocacy demanding federal change, and media coverage focusing on cannabis businesses rather than covering issues facing patients.
The Outreach Tool Kit is designed to equip advocates with actions and strategies to engage in the Safe Access 4 All Campaign effectively, raise public awareness, and galvanize support for a national medical cannabis program. Recognizing the existing opinions and biases surrounding medical cannabis, the kit focuses on breaking through misinformation, fostering awareness, and combating complacency.
In order to build momentum for federal medical cannabis legislation, we must embrace our roles as advocates and Educate, Inspire, and Mobilize! The Outreach Toolkit empowers individuals to roll up their sleeves and step into their advocacy roles, actively contributing to the transformation of public perception and policy on medical cannabis.
By participating in these activities, you will inform, inspire action, and drive the movement toward a more inclusive and effective medical cannabis program.
