Easy way to tell your Members of Congress to support this bill.

Representatives Tom Garrett (R-VA) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) have introduced bipartisan legislation to exclude ma*****na from the Controlled Substances Act, thus leaving states the authority to regulate the plant how best they see fit.

Great article from US News & World Report on a budget amendment introduced by Senators Rand Paul & Cory Booker, which would prevent the Department of Justice from interfering with state laws.

Three senators proposed amendments Wednesday to ban the Justice Department from spending money to combat medical ma*****na in states that allow it. Sens. Rand Paul, R-KY, and Cory Booker, D-NJ, are sponsoring an amendment to broadly ban action against state medical ma*****na laws. Sen. John Walsh, D-MT., is sponsoring an amendment that would specifically protect patients. The amendment offered by Paul and Booker mirrors a prohibition attached May 30 to a spending bill by the House of Representatives in a shocking 219-189 win for reformers. The more narrow Walsh amendment would block enforcement of laws against illegal drug users possessing guns or ammunition if the drug in question is medical ma*****na.
