Thumbs up H. R. 5843 Some Marijuana Reform By Barney Frank and Ron Paul
Cannabis / marijuana law reform. A federal bill put before congress in 08.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPLH-...layer_embedded

To eliminate most Federal penalties for possession of marijuana for personal use, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ..Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of marijuana by Responsible Adults’.

SEC. 2. ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN marijuana-RELATED PENALTIES.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no penalty may be imposed under an Act of Congress for the possession of marijuana for personal use, or for the not-for-profit transfer between adults of marijuana for personal use. For the purposes of this section, possession of 100 grams or less of marijuana shall be presumed to be for personal use, as shall the not-for-profit transfer of one ounce or less of marijuana, except that the civil penalty provided in section 405 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 844a) may be imposed for the public use of marijuana if the amount of the penalty does not exceed $100.

Oh c'mon Vi, as much as we might not like Frank, at least give him credit when he is right.

Someone will attach some shit to this in committee, or table it.....

Maybe by summer it will resurface.

This isn't exactly a priority at the moment.

As much money that is wasted by the DEA pursuing Med patients especially in med states, it should be a priority, think of the tax dollars that would be saved, and that would start right away.
