Quote:
Lawmakers for the first time have introduced legislation in Congress that seeks to end the federal criminalization of the personal use of marijuana.
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.
Under present law, 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. It marks the first time that members of Congress have introduced legislation to eliminate the federal criminalization of marijuana since the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.
Language in this Act mimics changes enacted by Congress to repeal the federal prohibition of alcohol. 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.
The federal 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. It is 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.

Thanks for the heads up! Just emailed my representative!

it's pretty much the same bill Frank and Paul introduce every session, far from being a first, if it has a life like the rest it'll die in committee

let me clarify, I personally know my HR rep., she beat Bob Ethridge after what seemed like forever and it's a disaster. Even Anderson Cooper tore her a new one (youtube, anderson cooper 360 renee elmers victory mosque) it's a riot! Anyhow, she knows my mom and dad well, I'm at a crossroads. I wanna do this really bad but fuck, if this is really going to her then my folks will know. They know i smoke but not anywhere near how much or that i'm a hardcore supporter of legalization
EDIT: i'm not registered to vote where I actually live, I haven't ever voted and so have never changed my voting address from when I was 18 (parents house) will it be legit to send it to the rep from the district i live in?

Send away Guru. They won't check registration from every letter received, especially since it will have your return address and post marks on it.
Now get your self registered, even if you don't beleive a vote helps in the federal level, it can help greatly in the local, and state level.
Thanks for the heads up cacharstar, I will be doing this later, especially since 3 DEA raids have happened in my neck of the woods in the last 2 weeks.

Good thread op. i called a few senstors last week to support this bill and I will continue to do so. I explained over the phone that arresting 800,000 Americans a year for this is horrible policy. ¥
