US Senate: Protect Medical Cannabis Patients! - Americans for Safe Access
The ONLY thing protecting state medical cannabis programs from Attorney General Jeff Session’s Department of Justice (DOJ) raids and arrests is an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies (CJS) budget that prohibits the DOJ from spending federal funds to prosecute anyone participating in a medical cannabis program as long as they are abiding by state laws.
Contact your Senator TODAY and ask them to ensure that protections for state medical cannabis programs are in the budget for fiscal year 2018.

Tell Congress: Support the CARERS Act of 2017
The bipartisan CARERS Act reduces the role of the federal government in formulating drug policy and allows states to make determinations on their own drug policies. Giving the power to decide drug policy to the states reinforces the principles of federalism on which our country was founded.
Please take action today, and urge your Members of Congress to cosponsor this legislation.
