Cannabis Laws Safe From Feds

Statement

States and territories should have full authority to decide whether to legalize marijuana within their borders. That is why I supported Oregon Representative Earl Blumenauer's amendment to the U.S. Department of Justice spending bill that prevents the federal law enforcers from interfering with the implementation of state or territorial laws authorizing the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of marijuana. Behind the scenes negotiations led by D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton successfully corrected an oversight leaving out the District of Columbia and the U.S. insular areas in an early version of the amendment. To date, 47 states and 4 insular areas, including the Marianas, have legalized some use of cannabis.
