On the campaign trail, President Trump repeatedly expressed support for medical cannabis. While POTUS can not directly change cannabis laws, he can direct his administration to take actions to improve the lives of patients without legislative action from Congress. You can contact him directly through the White House website www.WhiteHouse.gov/Contact or use these social media handles to connect with his Administration.
5 FEDERAL ACTIONS FOR POTUS
#StopMedicalCannabisEvictions
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) maintains policies such as the Quality Housing and Work and Responsibility Act of 1998 that prohibit federally subsidized housing tenants from possessing or using cannabis, even if tenants are doing so in compliance with state and local laws. These policies force medical cannabis patients to choose between their health and their housing. The HUD Secretary may revise the 2014 guidance issued by the Department regarding the authority of public housing agencies to deny admission of medical cannabis patients and replace the language to allow occupancy to patients using medical cannabis.

#MedicalCannabis4VeteransNow
The nearly 18 million Veterans face a confusing system of federal and state laws regarding medical cannabis use. Veterans who rely on the VA as their primary healthcare provider are unable to receive medical cannabis recommendations from their doctors despite their state having a medical cannabis program. With 1 in 53 military veterans making the choice to use state-authorized medical cannabis for treatment, it is time for the VA to reexamine its policies on cannabis. POTUS can instruct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to update the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) DIRECTIVE 1315 to say: “VA health care providers may recommend, make referrals to, complete forms, and/or register Veterans for to participate in a State-approved marijuana program.”

#EndMedicalCannabisDiscrimination
Federal employees and contractors, regardless of their state of residence, are prohibited from using cannabis and are subject to random drug testing. Legal authority requiring federal employees to adhere to this policy began in 1986 and is now administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The Trump administration can instruct the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to stop testing for cannabis and can work to remove cannabis from the list of illegal drugs for which federal employees are screened.

#ProtectSafeAccess
In 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice rescinded its 2013 Cole Memo, a series of guidelines for cannabis states and providers to avoid federal interference, which has left federal prosecutors without guidance for approaching disparities in state and federal laws. The memo, coupled with the Treasury Department’s 2014 Financial Crimes Enforcement Network FinCEN guidance that detailed financial institution requirements for serving legal cannabis businesses, reassured banks and credit unions regarding the safety of doing business with the legal cannabis industry. Restoring the Cole Memo will ensure that states can continue to supply medical cannabis to patients without federal interference.

#SafeAccess4All
Safe access to medical cannabis for all Americans is still hampered by the conflict between federal and state laws. Despite all the great work that patient advocates and state and local governments have done over the last 29 years, there are millions of Americans that state programs still cannot reach. Comprehensive medical cannabis legislation would harmonize state and federal law, creating a consistent and predictable regulatory environment on which patients and their doctors can depend. Congress needs to know that the Trump administration wants a medical cannabis bill to create equity for patients nationwide.
TAKE ACTION!
