Representatives Tom Garrett (R-VA) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) have introduced bipartisan legislation, HR 1227, to exclude marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, thus leaving states the authority to regulate the plant how best they see fit.
The “Ending Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017” eliminates federal criminal penalties for possessing and growing the plant. This legislation gives states the power and flexibility to establish their own marijuana policies free from federal interference.
FDA calls it a Class 1 drug meaning it has NO medical use. Pure BS. I would not smoke it even if it was free and legal but I would use some of the new strains than have little or no THC. Topical lotions do wonders for things like arthritis. I could use a little less pain without the normal drugs side affects. I know a woman who has worked hard all her 70 years and her hands look like claws. She uses a cream and has a normal pain free life. I could use the same cream but I will not lie on a federal form.
