>The Ashcroft Justice Department continues to spend millions of dollars

>ACTIONS TO TAKE

>Responding to growing conflict between the states and the federal

>government over the issue of medical marijuana, Rep. Hinchey (D-NY) and

>Rep. Rohrabacher (R-CA) will again offer an amendment to the

>Commerce-Jusitce-State spending bill that would prevent the U.S. Justice

>Department from undermining state efforts to provide terminally ill and

>chronic pain patients access to doctor-recommended medical marijuana. The

>amendment would prohibit the Justice Department from spending any money

>on arresting or prosecuting medical marijuana patients in states where

>medical marijuana is legal. 152 members of Congress voted for a similar

>amendment last year.

>

>Since 1996, 11 states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii,

>Maine, Maryland, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington) have adopted

>medical marijuana laws. The U.S. Justice Department, however, continues

>to spend millions of dollars arresting medical marijuana patients and their

>caregivers - even in states where medical marijuana is legal. At a time

when

>violent drug cartels remain at large and threats of terrorism

>continue to emerge, it is irresponsible for the Justice Department to

>jeopardize public safety by wasting scarce law enforcement resources

>conducting raids on hospice centers and medical marijuana patients.

>

>The Hinchey-Rohrabacher medical marijuana amendment would not prevent the

>Justice Department from arresting people using, growing, or selling

>marijuana for recreational use. Nor would it prevent the Justice

>Department from arresting medical marijuana patients in the states that

>have not approved the drug for this use. It simply prevents the federal

>government from arresting cancer, AIDS and MS patients that use marijuana

>for medical reasons in states that have adopted medical marijuana laws.

>

>Substantial majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents

>support medical marijuana. A 2001 Pew Research Center poll found that 73%

of

>Americans support medical marijuana. A 2002 Time/CNN poll found that 80% of

>Americans support it. The Institute of Medicine has determined that

>nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety " all can be mitigated by

>marijuana. " Allowing cancer, AIDS, and MS patients legal access to

>medical marijuana is supported by the American Nurses Association, American

>Public Health Association, American Bar Association, the Whitman-Walker

>Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente, among other groups.
