"Many states, including our own, have adopted policies that allow for the medicinal use of marijuana. Some of these states have made it legal to grow, distribute and use marijuana for prescribed medicinal purposes. The Supreme Court has ruled that Congress has the constitutional authority to regulate the cultivation and distribution of marijuana and that federal law enforcement authorities may enforce federal drug laws, in spite of existing state laws allowing for the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.

As a result of the Supreme Court??s decision, individuals who grow, distribute and consume marijuana under a state medicinal marijuana law are not immune from prosecution by the federal government. The Court's decision was based on its interpretation of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, which provides Congress with authority over activities that have an impact on interstate commerce.

Please be assured that the safety and well-being of the public is my first concern."
IF YOU RESPOND BACK TO HIM ASK HIM ASK HIM WHY HE DOES NOT TRY TO PUT ALCHOL UNDER THE SAME UMBRELLA AS MEDICAL MJ AS WE ALL KNOW BOOZE IS WORSE THE WEED..

Please be assured that the safety and well-being of the public is my first concern." IF HE REALLY CARED HE WOULD TAKE A STAND ON ALCHOL..
