Citizens in Colorado and Washington overwhelmingly voted to legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana similar to as the more hazardous substances, alcohol and tobacco, are already legalized, regulated, and taxed.

Specifically, we request the president to support a pending congressional proposal that would amend the federal preemption section of the Controlled Substances Act (section 903) to exempt from the act any state provisions "relating to marijuana."
