05/12/08: Bill introducted to decriminalize marijuana
Posted by: BLOWBACK
From ProRev: Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) has introduced a bill (H.R. 5843) to decriminalize the personal use of marijuana and legalize the use of marijuana when prescribed for medical purposes. "I think it is poor law enforcement to keep on the books legislation that establishes as a crime something which in fact society does not seriously wish to prosecute," said Frank. The bill would remove all federal criminal sanctions for possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) is an original co-sponsor of the bill.
