Decriminalize the use of medical marijuana under federal law.

Created by S.S. on April 21, 2013

Medical marijuana is neither addictive nor harmful and shows tremendous potential in treating various health conditions. In 1993 the World Health Organization declared, "There are no recorded cases of overdose fatalities attributed to cannabis, and the estimated lethal dose for humans extrapolated from animal studies is so high that it cannot be achieved by ... users." Medical marijuana use is legal in 18 states plus the District of Columbia, and ten more states have pending legislation to legalize medical marijuana. That brings to 28 states that have a legal or favorable view of medical marijuana. Honor the wishes of those states and patients by decriminalizing medical marijuana at the federal level so that innocent patients are not left in a legal limbo between State and Federal law.
