This is the page I came up with to hand out at the petition signings. I took from the site home page and added some of my own ideas. Any suggestions to make the handout better will be appreciated.
North Carolina Cannabis Patients Network
NCCPN is a licensed non-profit organization in the state of North Carolina. Support of concerned citizens, those who care about compassion and equal treatment under the law, patients, families and others is vital to our ability to educate the public regarding this important morally-right issue.

The National Cancer Institute at cancer.gov reports relief of pain, nausea and vomiting, anxiety, and loss of appetite among the potential uses. Cannabis and cannabinoids may have benefits in treating the symptoms of cancer or the side effects of cancer therapies. Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory and to affect the immune system.
Know someone who could use some relief ? Mom or Dad an Aunt or Uncle maybe a friend or neighbor. Antiquecannabis.com says Doctors prescribed cannabis for far over 600 pre-1937 (meaning legal) medical cannabis medicines; ALL of which incidentally were sold in drugstores on a brand or trade name bases.” Why not now? Help Legalize Medical Cannabis
Want To Help?
There is a petition created by Rep Kelly Alexander to show the Legislature the interest in changing the current cannabis laws. According to the PEW research institute a full 73% of the American population approve of Medical Cannabis when recommended by a Doctor. For those who ask what they can do, this is ONE really important thing that can be done.
SIGN THE PETITION and then Spread the Word
