I'm writing to urge you to support legislation that will protect state marijuana legalization laws.
Legalizing marijuana is supported by clear majorities in Western, Eastern, and Midwestern states, and majorities in at least some Southern states such as Texas and Louisiana. 23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use. 19 states have eliminated criminal penalties for marijuana possession. Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon have legalized marijuana like alcohol, with California and many other states likely to join them between now and November 2016.
It is clearer than ever that federal law needs to be updated to allow states to do what is best for their citizens without fear of federal intervention and furthermore continue to do so..
