Rohrabacher Leads Bipartisan Letter Urging Continuation of Policy Protecting State Medical Marijuana Laws | 2017-11-29 | 2017 | 2017-11 | Republican | House | CA | Dana Rohrabacher | R000409 | rohrabacher.house.gov | legacy | Representatives Dana Rohrabacher (CA-48) and Earl Blumenauer (OR-03) spearheaded a letter, signed by 64 other members of the House of Representatives, urging House and Senate leadership to ensure the inclusion of medical marijuana protections in any appropriations bill that funds the government beyond December 8, 2017. The provision, previously known as “Rohrabacher-Farr,” and now “Rohrabacher-Blumenauer,” bars the Department of Justice from using appropriated funds to prosecute individuals who are acting in compliance with their state’s medical marijuana laws. The provision was first signed into law in December 2014 as part of a larger spending package, and has been in force ever since. “You may view the letter here, and the list of signatories here.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
