Governor Gina Raimondo's proposed amendments in the 2017 Budget would Tax the Rhode Island Medical Marijuana Program to the point where Patients will not be able to afford their medicine. RIPAC and RCRI will be hosting a protest of the profitization of our Medical Program. The sick and ailing should never be the target of surplus tax revenue. We need to let our Governor know that concept will never change!!!!
