Major Marijuana Reform Language Included in Senate Spending Package


Noelle New Headshot Fmt Headshot

"A key Senate leader has included several pieces of good news for marijuana law reform advocates in a package of spending bills intended to keep the government operational for the next fiscal year," reports Marijuana.com. "Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), chairman of the Appropriations Committee, filed the bills on Tuesday, and they have just been uploaded to Congress’s website."

Highlights of what the bills will do, if enacted (excerpted from Marijuana.com's report):

* Prevent the Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration from spending money to interfere with the implementation of state medical marijuana laws. Similar language was enacted last year and is current law.

* Prevent the federal government from punishing banks for doing business with state-legal marijuana providers.

* Allow doctors with the Department of Veterans Affairs to recommend medical marijuana to military veterans, and prevent the V.A. from denying services to veterans because they are medical marijuana patients in accordance with state law.
