HR 2306: The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011

Over the past 70+ years, the federal criminalization of cannabis has:
1) Failed to reduce the public’s demand for or access to cannabis.

2) Imposed enormous fiscal and human costs upon the American people.

3) Promoted disrespect for the law.

4) Reinforced ethnic and generational divides between the public and law enforcement.

After seven decades of failure, it is time for an alternative approach. The facts are clear. Prohibition has failed. Ending prohibition now is in the best interest of the public as supported by both factual history and factual medical science.
