U.S. House votes 262-165 to continue funding DEA's war on medical marijuana patients

Dear Supporters:

Tonight, July 25, the U.S. House of Representatives defeated by a vote of 165-262 an amendment that would have prevented the DEA and the U.S. Justice Department from arresting or prosecuting medical marijuana patients and providers in the 12 states where medical marijuana is legal.

Congressmen Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) sponsored the amendment.

Although we lost, this evening's vote was a record showing of congressional support, in part because of the more than 24,000 letters that MPP members and allies sent to their U.S. representatives in the last few weeks.
