We are excited to announce new legislation in Congress that would protect many medical marijuana patients and providers from federal prosecution.
One in four Americans now lives in a state with laws governing medical marijuana. Unfortunately, law-abiding citizens can still be prosecuted on federal marijuana-related charges.
Today, Congressman Sam Farr introduced the "Truth in Trials" Act, H.R. 3939. This bill would enable law-abiding citizens facing federal marijuana related charges to introduce evidence at trial showing that they were in compliance with state law.
"Truth in Trials" needs a lot of support in the U.S. House of Representatives if it is to succeed.
