Tonight! Sunday June 7: Vigil for Medical Cannabis patients at WI State Capitol

Join IMMLY’s Jacki Rickert and Gary Storck, “Legal Medicine Blues” singer-songwriter Rick Harris click here, and others Sunday night to honor Cheryl Miller and all victims of medical cannabis prohibition!

On Sunday, June 7, 2009, Is My Medicine Legal YET? (IMMLY.org), will host a vigil to remember victims of medical marijuana prohibition, past and present, at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison. The vigil will be held on the landing at the top of the State St. steps, just outside of the Capitol building, beginning around 8:00 pm and continuing past sunset. Candles with open flames are prohibited, but a limited number of battery-powered LED candles will be available to participants.

Attendees can gather before and after the event a block away at Michelangelo's Coffee House, 114 State St., Madison, WI 53703 (608) 251-5299. As the Capitol building is closed Sunday nights, Michelangelo's likely offers one of the nearest public rest rooms to the vigil site.

This "candlelight" vigil is one of several being held nationwide at this time on June 7 to remember medical cannabis patients, including the Statehouse in Trenton NJ.
