Marijuana Bill Gains Momentum In Congress
The Compassionate Access, Research Expansion and Respect States (CARERS) Act seems to be moving forward in congress as more and more lawmakers respond to the public's growing support for marijuana legalization.
On Tuesday, the CARERS Act gained supporters from both sides of the isle in congress as several new cosponsors signed on.
Growing Support
Representatives Steve Cohen and Don Young introduced the bill to the house last week to what Cohen says was a positive reception.
On Tuesday, Cohen issued a statement saying that both parties are in agreement that federal marijuana legislation needs reform.
So far, the bill has garnered support from six Republicans and six Democrats in the Senate.
Reclassifying Marijuana
The CARERS Act would change the way that marijuana is viewed at a federal level by taking the drug off the list of Schedule I drugs, which are said to have no known medical uses.
