Hey, John — it’s Gisele!

[ [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 cannabis
legalization. Legal cannabis has changed my life, and I know it can help
so many others too. I hope my story of being helped by the plant can help
other 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
cannabis 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
Pennsylvania. 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.

Cannabis should be legal, safe, and pure for medicinal and recreational
use by adults in Pennsylvania and everywhere in the U.S. Legal cannabis
will create tens of thousands of 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.

Also, let the people grow 🌱

[ [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.
