via The Marijuana Policy Project: There is big news in the halls of Congress! A new bipartisan bill would modify the federal Controlled Substances Act so that anyone acting in compliance with a state marijuana law would be immune from federal prosecution.
That’s right. The federal Controlled
Substances Act simply would not apply to marijuana users, dispensary
operators, and other individuals who have been courageous enough to help
take marijuana production and sales above ground into state-regulated
markets. Click here to urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act.
We would like to thank Rep.
Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) for his leadership on this bill. It presents a
perfect opportunity for members to embrace the notion that states should
be able to devise systems for regulating marijuana without their
citizens having to worry about breaking federal law.
The goal is to have this bill be truly
bipartisan, so it is being introduced with three Republicans (Reps.
Rohrabacher, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), and Don Young (R-AK)) and three
Democrats (Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Steve Cohen (D-TN) and Jared
Polis (D-CO)). In order to build up the list of co-sponsors, we need you
to make your voice heard.
Please use our online action center to urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act. Just two minutes of your time will make a big difference. And please don’t forget to share this email with friends and family so that they can take action too.
ACT NOW!!!
