I hope that you'll support HR 2835, the Medical Marijuana Patient Protection
Act introduced by your colleague Barney Frank.  By removing marijuana from
Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, this bill would recognise its
medical benefit in certain cases when prescribed by a physician.  It would also
end the federal government's ability to prosecute medical marijuana patients
and providers in states where medical marijuana is legal.  Legalising the
medically supervised use of marijuana would eliminate the conflict between
federal and state laws, and would free law enforcement and the courts to spend
their valuable time on crimes that actually hurt people.
