Hinchey Rohrabacher Medical Marijuana Amendment Action Center

Thank your member of Congress for voting to protect medical marijuana patients — or show disappointment if your member of Congress wants to keep arresting patients.

On July 25, 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives defeated the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment by a vote of 262-165. The amendment would have prohibited the DEA and the Justice Department from spending taxpayer money to raid, arrest, or prosecute medical marijuana patients and providers in the 12 states where medical marijuana is legal.

Although Congress failed to end the raids on medical marijuana patients and caregivers this year, the amendment received a record amount of support. It is now vital that we follow up with Congress to ensure that support for protecting patients continues to grow.
