Ohio just became the 25th state in the United States to legalize marijuana for medical purposes, but medical marijuana is still illegal federally. Tens of thousands of patients and caregivers across the country face the fear of federal penalties even though they are abiding by state law.
We need your help to protect patients’ rights and end the federal prohibition of medical marijuana once and for all. With half the country already passing medical marijuana legislation, and 80% support for medical marijuana nationally, there is no excuse for Congress not to act.
The Compassionate Access, Research Expansion and Respect States (CARERS) Act, is a historic piece of legislation that would end the federal prohibition of medical marijuana and allow states to set their own policies.
With bipartisan support in Congress we have a chance to finally end the prohibition on medical marijuana, but Senator Chuck Grassley is standing in the way. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee only Senator Grassley has the power to bring the CARERS Act up for a vote — and so far he has refused.
Please sign the petition today calling on Senator Grassley to bring the CARERS Act up for a vote. Help us end the federal prohibition of medical marijuana!
To Senator Grassley:
I urge you to bring the CARERS Act, S.683, up for a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee right away.
With twenty-five states and the District of Columbia legalizing and regulating marijuana for medicinal purposes and twelve states regulating CBD oils, and with over 80% of Americans in support of legal access to medical marijuana, it’s time for the federal government to let states set their own policies.
The American people deserve a debate and a vote on this important and timely legislation. Please bring S.683 up for a vote today.
