It’s through tears that I write this..the House of Representatives voted yesterday to stop federal persecution of cannabis patients and their caregivers in states where medical cannabis is legal. It’s not final yet, but this is the furthest we’ve come yet on the federal level. Support for at least leaving patients alone is at an all time high, so this is really great news. Legalization is coming as well. Ideally, removing cannabis from the federal drug schedule would help immensely. I have to believe that this will happen soon as well.

With any luck, the folks up in Washington State due to be in federal court in July for following their state’s medical cannabis laws to the letter, will see that drama end before it begins. The judge ruled that they cannot use this fact as an affirmative defense, so the trial date was set. How about they “un-set” the date and tell these nice folks that they can go back to doing what they were legally doing in the first place.

Thanks to Oregon’s Representatives for their support on the amendment. But special thanks needs to be given to Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Sam Farr (D-CA) for their work on this amendment. Thank you so much. The momentum is increasing. Folks serving time for cannabis should be released. The insanity must stop so truth can prevail, and yesterday, we got a little bit closer to that happening!
