Bawahahahaha !!!!
Thank you for your communication in support of medical marijuana research. Previously, I voted for the amendment offered by Rep. Maurice Hinchey to the appropriations bill for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and related agencies, which would have prohibited the U.S. Department of Justice - including the Drug Enforcement Administration — from using any appropriated funds to interfere with the implementation of medical marijuana laws in the 10 states that had approved such use. However, it was defeated by a vote of 165 to 262.
I will continue to oppose federal interference to medical marijuana use, believing that this decision is best left to the States. As I have previously stated in opposing a federal prohibition on medical use of marijuana:
I note that the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most respected publications in the medical community in this country, and a number of oncologists in this country seem to believe that this substance has some benefits, and for this Congress to mingle politics into medicine is a mistake. But perhaps it was put best by a Florida woman who successfully uses marijuana to treat glaucoma in her eye who said, "You cannot outlaw compassion, self preservation, or survival."
Please keep me advised of any federal matters with which I may be of assistance.
Sincerely,
