With elections on the horizon, RIPAC has been asked who patients and caregivers should vote for. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, RIPAC cannot endorse candidates. We can, however meet with the candidates to discuss the MMj Program and report their views to you. So far, we have met with Gina Raimondo (democrat candidate for governor) and Allan Fung (republican candidate for governor). Here is what they said regarding MMj: Gina Raimondo said that she supports the medical use of cannabis. She said that she supports affordable access to quality medicine for patients. Specifically, she said that she supports the compassion centers as well as patients and caregivers growing medicine. Allan Fung acknowledged that, as Mayor of Cranston, he once opposed the opening of a dispensary in that city. He said that was primarily due to concerns about conflicts with federal law but that he has changed his view. He supports the medical use of cannabis and compassion centers. He said that he did not know if he supports the rights of patients and caregivers to grow. He said that he would need more information and would like to consult with law enforcement before making that decision.
