Hey, John — it’s Gisele Barreto
Fetterman!

[ [link removed] ]Before I humbly ask you to pitch in
your first $5 donation to our campaign, I
want to share a personal story:

My experience as a medicinal marijuana patient.

John and I are deeply dedicated to the fight for full weed legalization.
Legal weed has changed my life, and I know it can help so many others too.
My own story of being helped by the plant is my truth, and I’d like to see
more people understand it rather than fear it.

I’ve lived with chronic back pain most of my life. Every photo I have
leading up to my medical marijuana license has one thing in common, a
memory of pain.

I was always fearful of strong prescription medications like opioids. As I
got older, I tried countless different combinations to manage my pain:
Chiropractic care, yoga, a million types of stretches. They each helped,
but there was no long-term fix.

Then, in 2016, Pennsylvania legalized marijuana for medical use. I was one
of the first people in line when the first dispensary opened. Today, legal
weed is the medicine that keeps me pain-free.

The prejudice and misinformation surrounding this plant is one of the
biggest hurdles to legalization,
John. I’m regularly referred to as the
“Pothead” Second Lady.” I’ve even had folks tell me, “You don’t look like
a medical marijuana user.”

After I was included in an issue of Weed World, people even sent me
D.A.R.E. resources. At least it helped my childhood friends dig up this
photo of me in 5th grade. Not trying to brag but… art contest winner! 😆

John and I have been pushing hard for the full legalization of Cannabis in
our state. In
2019, John embarked on an adult-use cannabis listening tour in all 67 PA
counties. In three months, the historic tour saw over 10,000 people turn
out in person.

Weed should be legal, safe, and pure for medicinal and recreational use by
adults in our
state and everywhere in the
U.S. Legal weed will create tens of thousands new jobs. It will help
farmers, veterans, and people suffering from chronic pain. It will help us
expunge all the senseless marijuana convictions. And it will be a big step
forward toward racial justice.

[ [link removed] ]John, will
you please make your very
first donation of $5 to help John keep
fighting for legal weed? My husband, John Fetterman, will be the strongest
and loudest supporter of legal weed that the Senate has ever seen. Any
amount you’re able to give, even $4.20, makes a huge impact.
