Dear Mr. ------,



As I work to meet the needs and priorities of our community and the nation, please know how much I appreciate having the benefit of your views. In particular, I am pleased to share with you my views on the decriminalization of marijuana.



I do not support the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. However, there is some evidence that marijuana has the ability to relieve chronic pain and nausea for certain medical conditions. Therefore, I am supportive of allowing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate and determine the appropriate applications for the medical use of marijuana.



As you may know, a number of states have enacted laws allowing the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. I oppose these actions because states should not be allowed to circumvent the federal drug approval process. Legalizing marijuana, or any other Schedule I drug, for medicinal use through a state political process without valid scientific evidence and without approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) usurps the role that the federal government and science should play in our nation's drug approval process.



Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can help in any way, and rest assured I will keep working to make sure the federal government is fiscally responsible, accountable, and responsive to my constituents.
