U.S. Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) showed his support of medical marijuana by introducing the Charlotte’s Web Medical Hemp Act of 2014. The bill, which was brought before the U.S. House of Representatives in July, would essentially decriminalize a compound in marijuana to be used to treat people with severe epilepsy.
