The House of Representatives approved a far-reaching measure on Thursday??to??prevent the Department of Justice from interfering with state marijuana laws, including those allowing recreational use, cultivation and sales. 0836名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:10:10.78ID:YiCfwHUz0 The amendment, which also shields cannabis laws in Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories, is now attached to a large-scale appropriations bill to fund parts of the federal government for Fiscal Year 2020. 0837名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:11:42.39ID:YiCfwHUz0 The inclusion of adult-use??programs??represents a significant expansion of an
existing policy??that protects only local medical cannabis laws??from federal intervention??which was
first enacted in 2014 and has since been extended through annual spending bills. 0838名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:13:05.77ID:YiCfwHUz0 The broader rider??was approved in a floor vote of 267 to 165, a tally that is considered by legalization
supporters to be an indication of how much support there is in
Congress for more comprehensive and permanent changes to federal marijuana policies. 0839名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:15:11.49ID:YiCfwHUz0 “This is the most significant vote on marijuana reform policy that the House of
Representatives has ever taken,” said NORML Political Director Justin Strekal. “Today’s action by
Congress highlights the growing power of the marijuana law reform movement and the
increasing awareness by political leaders that the policy of prohibition and criminalization has failed.” 0840名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:19:34.48ID:YiCfwHUz0 Cannabis Trade Federation CEO Neal Levine agreed with the importance of the legislative victory. 0841名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:21:11.25ID:YiCfwHUz0 “The historic nature of this vote cannot be overstated,” he said. “For the first time,
a chamber of Congress has declared that the federal government should defer to state cannabis laws.” 0842名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:23:11.03ID:YiCfwHUz0 Aaron Smith,??executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association, called the vote
“without a doubt the biggest victory for federal cannabis policy reform to date, and a hopeful sign
that the harmful policies of marijuana prohibition will soon be a relic of the past.” 0843名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:24:54.68ID:YiCfwHUz0 The measure, sponsored by Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and Tom McClintock (R-CA),
would bar the Department of Justice from spending money to prevent states and territories from
“implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of marijuana.” 0844名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:27:00.86ID:YiCfwHUz0 In 2015, a nearly identical measure came just nine flipped votes short of passage on the House floor.
Since then, the number of states with full legalization laws has more than doubled,
meaning that far more lawmakers now represent constituents who stand to benefit from its protections. 0845名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:29:08.57ID:YiCfwHUz0 “The end of marijuana prohibition has never been closer. When Drug Policy Alliance and a small band of allies first worked on this amendment in 2015,
we were told that we didn’t stand a chance,” DPA Director of National Affairs Michael Collins said.
“But we convinced members this was the right thing to do, and four years on, victory is sweet.” 0846名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:30:50.22ID:YiCfwHUz0 “Now is the time for Democrats to pivot to passing legislation that will end prohibition through a racial justice lens,
making sure that the communities most impacted by our racist marijuana laws have a stake in the future of legalization,” he said.
“To do anything less would be to repeat an injustice.” 0847名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:32:15.63ID:YiCfwHUz0 On Wednesday, the House approved a similar amendment protecting the marijuana laws of Indian tribes by a voice vote,
and no member requested a roll call vote, so that language is also now attached to the spending bill. 0848名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:35:17.92ID:YiCfwHUz0 “We’re watching the growth of this industry, a multibillion-dollar industry. We’re watching state after state move forward,”??
Blumenauer said in a??floor debate on the state protection amendment on Wednesday evening.
“Every one of us on the floor of the House who are here now represent areas that have taken action.
We have had embedded in our legislation protections for medical marijuana. And this would simply extend that same protection to prevent the Department of Justice interfering with adult use.
I strongly, strongly urge that we build on the legacy that we’ve had in the past,
that we move this forward to allow the federal government to start catching up to where the rest of the states are.” 0849名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:42:17.67ID:YiCfwHUz0 In a letter circulated to colleagues prior to the vote, McClintock??wrote that
“the issue at hand is whether the federal government has the constitutional authority to dictate policy to states on an issue which occurs strictly within their own borders.” 0850名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/24(月) 11:44:13.10ID:YiCfwHUz0 “I do not believe the federal government has that authority, but even if it did, states should determine their own criminal justice policies,” he wrote.
“This is how our constitutional system was designed to function.” 0851名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/25(火) 05:40:31.46ID:D1W9E7kb0 で?大麻解禁を訴えてる日本の政党と政治家は?誰なん? 0852名無しさん@一本勝ち2019/06/25(火) 07:07:00.64ID:Klhad5+u0 アベ自民党を打倒して、大麻を解禁しよう! 大麻は、エイズ、ガン、テンカン、パーキンソン病、リウマチ、うつ病、統合失調症、認知症など、あらゆる難病に効果を発揮するそうだ。 今や世界中で解禁、若しくは非犯罪化されて実質解禁になっている。 日本でも解禁すれば、元々自生している繁殖力の強い草だから、いくらでも栽培可能で医療費が殆ど要らなくなる。 そうすれば、毎月の社会保険料も消費税も撤廃出来るだろう。 日本再生のカギは、大麻解禁だ!
