U.S. Rep. Mark Souder released the following statement today, after the Justice Department announced that it will ease medical marijuana prosecutions.
“This debate has always been over the legalization of marijuana, not medical use. There are non-smoked variations available for medical use. Smoked marijuana, along with tobacco and alcohol, is the gateway drug for all other drug abuse. Today’s hydroponic marijuana has a much higher THC content than the historic ditchweed pot that was once popular in Indiana. “Furthermore, the Hinchey-Rohrabacher medical marijuana amendment aimed at implementing a similar policy, was defeated with a bipartisan vote in House of Representatives on five different occasions. And, in June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court (in the case Gonzalez v. Raich, and in a 6-3 decision) upheld Congress’ ability to regulate the illegal production and distribution of marijuana. “The Obama Administration’s multiple front retreat from illegal drug enforcement will, over the next few years, result in higher crime rates, more highway deaths and destroyed lives.” ------------------------------------ •Washington Office: U.S. House of Representatives 2231 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Main: (202) 225-4436 Fax: (202) 225-3479 •Goshen Office: River Plaza 320 North Chicago Avenue, Suite 9B Goshen, IN 46528 Main: (574) 533-5802 Fax: (574) 534-2669 Tollfree: 1-800-959-3041 •Winona Lake Office: The Boathouse, Suite D 700 Park Ave. Winona Lake, IN 46590 Main: (574) 269-1940 Fax: (574) 269-3112 Tollfree: 1-800-959-3041 •Kendallville Office: 874 North Lima Road Suite B Kendallville, IN 46755 Main: (260) 599-0554 Fax: (260) 599-0557 Tollfree: 1-800-959-3041 •Fort Wayne Office: E.
