Pro-Pot Amendment in US House

[Eric J in MN]

Members of the United States House of Representatives are anticipated to vote this week — perhaps as early as Wednesday — on a series of amendments to a Justice Department spending bill. These amendments seek to limit the federal government’s intrusion in states that have regulated various aspects of marijuana production and access.

Specifically, Representatives Tom McClintock (R-CA) and Jared Polis (D-CO) are introducing an amendment intended to halt the federal prosecution of individuals involved in marijuana-related activities that are in compliance with the laws of their states.

Please ask your US Rep to support the McClintock/Polis marijuana amendment.

2. It's Settled

Just Do it. Pot legalization, like marriage equality, is a done deal. It will happen why not get it done now.
