Dear Friend, 


As you know, the pot industry, its lobbyists, and pro-weed lawmakers are willing to do anything to pass bills to further the addiction-for-profit model. They have tried nearly every avenue possible to try and get these bills signed into law.


Their current focus is passing the SAFE Banking Act, legislation that would permit the marijuana industry to access federal banking services.


Please contact your representatives today and ask them to oppose the SAFE Banking Act.


We anticipate that the SAFE Banking Act will undergo a markup in the Senate Banking Committee sometime in the next 3 weeks.


If your Senator sits on the Senate Banking Committee, they need to hear from you:

Majority Members


Sherrod Brown, Ohio, Chairman

Jack Reed, Rhode Island

Bob Menendez, New Jersey

Jon Tester, Montana

Mark Warner, Virginia

Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts

Chris Van Hollen, Maryland

Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada

Tina Smith, Minnesota

Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona

Raphael Warnock, Georgia

John Fetterman, Pennsylvania

Minority Members


Tim Scott, South Carolina, Ranking Member

Mike Crapo, Idaho

Mike Rounds, South Dakota

Thom Tillis, North Carolina

John Kennedy, Louisiana

Bill Hagerty, Tennessee

Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming

J. D. Vance, Ohio

Katie Britt, Alabama

Kevin Cramer, North Dakota

Steve Daines, Montana

Even if your Senators are not on this committee, they still need to hear from you in opposition to the SAFE Banking Act. After the markup, the bill could go to the Senate floor at anytime.


This bill would permit banks to be out of compliance with federal law, while opening the doors to Wall Street investment into the marijuana industry, accelerating the creation of the next Big Tobacco.


Since the industry is unable to access many risk-averse institutional investors due to marijuana's status as an illegal drug at the federal level, the SAFE Banking Act that would grant the industry access to the federal banking system and institutional investors. In an effort to circumvent this, Big Pot is lobbying for the inclusion of the SAFE Banking Act. This bill is all about maximizing profits, no matter the effects on public health or public safety.


Please contact Congress and tell them to oppose the SAFE Banking Act!


The SAFE Banking Act would permit banks to be out of compliance with federal law, while opening the doors to Wall Street investment into the marijuana industry and put the pedal to the metal in the creation of the next Big Tobacco. All without any public health and safety guardrails. 


Please, take action now.



Thank you for all that you do,



Dr. Kevin Sabet

President
