A bill that would end federal prosecution of medical marijuana in states where it has been legalized was introduced Monday in the U.S. House by Alaska Rep. Don Young and Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee.
The legislation, HR 1538, is the companion to a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate on March 10 by Sens. Rand Paul, R-New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, and Cory Booker, D-New Jersey. The bills are identical in language, Young spokesperson Matt Shuckerow said Tuesday.
The Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States Act would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to Schedule II drug; end federal prosecution of medical marijuana in states where it is legal; allow banks to provide financial services to marijuana-related businesses that are operating legally under state law; and allow Veterans Administration physicians to recommend medical marijuana, among other provisions.
