Medical Cannabis Testimonies: Dan Viets of Missouri

This first ever Patient Protection Day 2008 statewide lobbying event video was recorded in the Jefferson City Capital Building Rotunda. The stage and sound system were generously provided by the University of Missouri Columbia. Dan is an attorney and 30 veteran in the struggle against Cannabis Prohibition. He has been at the forefront of every legislative attempt here in Missouri. This event was our first Missouri Patient Protection Day. During this day-long event, we met with Missouri Speaker of the House, Rod Jetton, who blocked our Cannabis Compassion Bill in 2007 and was making every effort to block it again for 2008. Though, on the day of this event, he recanted his position while meeting with chronically ill patients and supporters in his office, he later killed HB1830 by appointing it to a do-nothing committee too late in the session for it to go anywhere. Fortunately for Missouri's chronically ill, Rod Jetton will not be returning to Missouri's House in 2009.
