Happy New Year,
Friend!
So Long 2025...
|
|
Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is starting the year with
clarity about what’s required. Not hope. Not vibes. Old school
organizing that begins with you! ASA’s resolution to ensure safe and
legal access to medical cannabis began nearly 24 years ago.
That commitment hasn’t changed.
What has changed is the pace and complexity of
federal policy—and the urgency for patient voices to be present when
decisions are being made.
|
|
Today, as you take stock of 2025 and look ahead to 2026, we hope a
renewed commitment to your medical cannabis advocacy is part of your
plans for the new year.
Whether it's included in your New Year's Resolution or just a
commitment you are making to yourself and your community, the 2026
Medical Cannabis Action Pledge was created to help you plug in!
|
|
|
|
|
2026 will be a
turning point for medical cannabis and cannabinoid policy— decisions
made through rulemaking, appropriations, and agency actions in 2026
will shape patient access for decades. |
|
Here’s the
hard truth: if patient advocates are not organized, visible, and
ready to respond in 2026, decisions will be made about us—without
us. |
|
|
|
Success
in 2026 will
require patients to be organized,
visible, and impossible to ignore.
This is a call to action for patient
advocates: it’s time to brush up on your talking
points and activate your networks. Your presence must be felt in your
communities, state houses, and on Capitol Hill. Your voices must be
echoed on social media, in local papers, and in the national
press.
By taking the Medical Cannabis Action Pledge, you will join
a growing network of patients, caregivers, health professionals, and
allies committed to safe access.
|
|
We are asking patient
advocates to commit to showing up when it counts
as their 2026 New Year’s resolution. And we’re
committing to give you the training, tools, and support to keep
it. |
|
|
|
You are NOT alone. By taking the ASA Action
Pledge, you’ve joined a growing network of patients, caregivers,
health professionals, and allies who are ready to show up for each
other in 2026.
ASA has created the Medical Cannabis Action
Pledge Toolkit to ensure we all succeed! It provides a
practical, centralized set of resources designed to help advocates act
with confidence and clarity.
|
|
ASA is
raising funds to ensure we have the staff power to support advocates
and represent patients on Capitol Hill and in the national
media!
GOOD NEWS! All gifts made before January 15th
are matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $250,000, to support ASA’s
federal advocacy in 2026!
|
|
|
2025-
Delivered a mix of long-overdue clarity, dangerous misconceptions,
and hard deadlines that will directly affect millions of patients who
rely on cannabis and cannabinoid therapies.
2026-
The stakes are no longer theoretical.
|
|
HAPPY
NEW YEAR!
See
YOU on the Frontlines!
