This is somewhat very nice news to all medical cannabis patients; lawmakers have introduced legislation in Congress that seeks to end the federal criminalization of the personal use of marijuana.
Filed under, “HR 2306, entitled the ‘Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011,’ prohibits the federal government from prosecuting adults who use or possess marijuana by removing the plant and its primary psychoactive constituent, THC, from the five schedules of the United States Controlled Substances Act of 1970.”
Just to recap the past law on medical cannabis use, all varieties of the marijuana plant are defined as illicit Schedule I controlled substances, defined as possessing ‘a high potential for abuse,’ and ‘no currently accepted medical use in treatment.’
HR 2306 seeks to federally deregulate the personal possession and use of marijuana by adults. According to medical marijuana users, specially the adult ones, this bill is first time that have been introduced by lawmakers and they do this to eliminate the federal criminalization of marijuana since the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.
Reports said that, language in this Act mimics changes enacted by Congress to repeal the federal prohibition of alcohol. Reports added that, passage of this measure would remove the existing conflict between federal law and the laws of those sixteen states that allow for the limited use of marijuana under a physicians’ supervision. It would also allow state governments that wish to fully legalize and regulate the responsible use, possession, and production of marijuana for all adults to be free to do so without federal interference.
We are all aware and even the Federal government’s do that the fed’s criminalization of marijuana has failed to reduce the public’s demand or access to cannabis, and it has imposed enormous fiscal and human costs upon the American people all over the nation.
The lawmakers thought that It is about time to end this failed public policy and to provide state governments with the freedom to enact alternative strategies — such as medicalization, decriminalization, and/or legalization without running afoul of the federal law. Please urge your United States Representative to co-sponsor and/or support HR 2306: ‘Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011’ by entering your zip code below.
It is a fact that the federal government is still against the idea of legalizing the use of medical marijuana even for medical problems, but once this bill enacted into a law, medical patients can freely use this alternative medicine without getting afraid of being caught by the feds.
