The Buffalo Cannabis Movement is an American grassroots and nonprofit organization based in Buffalo, New York, whose aim is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the legalization of non-medical marijuana in the United States so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty.
BCM's mission aligns with NORML's mission of "support[ing] the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession and responsible use of marijuana by adults, including the cultivation for personal use, and the casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts," and "support[ing] the development of a legally controlled market for cannabis."
The bill would expand the CCA by allowing flowers(combustible) for patients, adding coverage of several more diseases, regulating dosage by mg of THC (not just THC-CBD ratios), "Compassionate Exemption"(emergency care for hospitals), "Smart Card Technology" medical cards produced by the local DEA department, and setting up a committee with 5 appointed members (DEA, Doctor, Buffalo Police Department, and a community or parent advocate) for the implementation of the act.
[2] The Buffalo Common Council on September 8, 2015, moved to table the bill pending research in the CCA, BMCA, and what they could implement at the local level.
[6] However they are working on passing a resolution/house rule for what the BMCA called for, i.e. local manufacturing and dispensing, expanded patient care, emergency provisions, etc.
