To the Elected Officials and Members of the Kansas State Legislature: I write to express my deep concern regarding the Legislature's continued failure to act on marijuana legalization despite overwhelming public support, and the harmful consequences this inaction has created for Kansas citizens. **The Will of the People Has Been Ignored** Multiple polls conducted over the past several years unanimously demonstrate that Kansans overwhelmingly support marijuana legalization—in percentages exceeding even the Republican supermajority currently controlling our legislature. Yet despite this clear mandate from your constituents, and despite having years to follow the successful examples of other states, the majority in the Kansas Legislature has willfully ignored the people's will. This represents more than political disagreement; it constitutes a failure to honor your oath of office and the trust placed in you by Kansas voters. **Inaction Has Led to Direct Harm** Your failure to act is no longer simply disappointing—it is now actively harmful to Kansas citizens. Attorney General Chris Kobach has begun raiding businesses for violating the very law the Legislature made even more restrictive regarding THC-containing products. Rather than protecting Kansans, the Legislature's inaction has left citizens vulnerable to prosecution and enforcement actions that contradict the will of over 75% of Kansas voters. **Democracy Demands Action** Every member of our Legislature is aware of Kansas citizens' overwhelming support for marijuana legalization. Your continued refusal to act on this issue represents a fundamental betrayal of democratic principles and your duty as representatives. The recent raids provide unequivocal proof that your negligence results in direct harm to the freedom and well-being of Kansas citizens. This is not merely a policy disagreement—it is a dereliction of your sworn duty to act in the will and interest of the people you represent. **Immediate Action Required** I call upon the Kansas Legislature to: 1. Immediately reverse the recently passed restrictive legislation on THC products 2. Draft and pass comprehensive marijuana legalization legislation that reflects the will of Kansas voters 3. Protect Kansas citizens from prosecution for activities that the vast majority of your constituents believe should be legal Any further delay in taking such action is an insult to the democratic process and to the lives and liberties of the people of Kansas. You are responsible for understanding the needs and concerns of your constituents and advocating for their interests. It is time you fulfill that responsibility. The people of Kansas have spoken clearly and consistently. Will you finally listen?
