Representative Thomas Garrett (R-VA-5) has introduced comprehensive marijuana reform legislation, the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017.

The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017, [HR 1227] (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1227/actions), eliminates federal criminal penalties for possessing and growing marijuana. This legislation gives states the power and flexibility to establish their own marijuana policies free from federal interference.

This bill would also remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, which would allow for more marijuana research both recreationally and medicinally.

Thirty states, Washington, DC and the US territories of Guam and Puerto Rico have enacted legislation specific to the physician-authorized use of cannabis, while an estimated 63 million Americans now reside in jurisdictions where anyone over the age of 21 may possess cannabis legally. Voters overwhelmingly support these policy changes. According to a 2017 Gallup University poll, 64 percent of Americans support full marijuana legalization.

With militant marijuana prohibitionist Jeff Sessions in the position of US Attorney General warning of an upcoming federal crackdown in adult use states, passage of The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act is necessary to ensure that marijuana consumers are protected from undue federal interference.

Thanks for all you do,

Not only is Sessions a longtime notorious racist, but if confirmed as AG, Sessions would immediately work to destroy all of our investment in safe and sane marijuana policy and all we have worked to build.

IF YOU NEED A SCRIPT: “Hello. I am a constituent of Rep. [Name]. I’m calling to express my deep concern of Trump’s appointment of known white supremacist, oppose the nomination of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Not only is Sessions a longtime notorious racist, but if confirmed as AG, Sessions would immediately work to destroy all of our investment in safe and sane marijuana policy and all we have worked to build. I am calling to see if and when Rep. [Name] will be condemning the appointment of Jeff Sessions to the White House.”

Hello! I’m posting today to ask for just a quick moment of your time (and apologize for intruding on your subreddit, kind of).

Reddit’s Model House of Commons (a parliament simulation) has just begun voting in it’s 5th General Election and it’s open to anyone interested in voting (which is easy, fairly anonymous, and fast).

I’m asking for your vote for the Green Party because we have stood tirelessly for fair and equal elections, social justice, LGBT rights, environmentalism, economic policies focused on helping the average individual, and an intelligent foreign policy. The Green Party has elected 2 past Prime Ministers and has a strong and active showing on the Model House of Commons. We're also the party that legalized cannabis in parliament!

I hope you take a brief moment of your time to help our subreddit continue to function, since we run off of the votes of the public. While it is just a simulation, this of course is very real and very enjoyable for all of us, and your time is a huge help. Every vote matters!

Please come and vote GREEN here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MHOC/comments/46xtgq/general_election_v_megathread/

Here’s also a full link to our manifesto if you’re interested: https://issuu.com/df44/docs/mhoc_greens_gev_manifesto_final

If you want to join our simulation and party, or have any questions, you can also PM me for help :)

Thank you so much for your time!
