DeGette Plans Federal Cannabis Bill


DENVER (CBS4) – It’s another step trying to protect Colorado’s legal cannabis industry as Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colorado, plans to reintroduce legislation to change the way the federal government manages marijuana.

“It’s a state’s rights issue,” said DeGette.

The bill would amend the Controlled Substances Act allowing states that have legalized marijuana to be safe from federal regulation.
