Marijuana Seedling
Frequent Photo
With a 23 -15 vote, the California Senate urged the federal government to end marijuana raids and “create a comprehensive federal medical marijuana policy that ensures safe and legal access to any patient that would benefit from it.”
The Senate has also called upon the Federal government to
"end federal raids, intimidation, and interference
with state medical marijuana law...[and] to encourage
advanced clinical research trials into the therapeutic
use of marijuana, which meet accepted scientific
standards..."
Furthermore, the senate asks that federal policy be established that allows patients that follow state law to use that as a defense against federal laws.
This is the first time that a state government has “officially called for a change in federal medical cannabis policies.” You go, California!
