Contact Gov. Baker and tell him Massachusetts residents should have sensible and safe access to cannabis during the crisis. Yesterday, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker refused to reverse his earlier decision to halt adult cannabis sales. Once again, he said it was because he worries allowing sales will attract visitors from other states.

Urge governors of medical cannabis states to ensure access in times of social distancing. In the past week or two, our lives have changed dramatically.
