States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act
Summary
H.R. 2592, the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act, would reclassify marijuana under federal law from a Schedule I substance to a Schedule II substance, recognizing it as having a currently accepted medical use. The bill would prevent federal law from interfering with state-level medical marijuana programs, specifically protecting the ability of physicians to recommend the drug, patients to use it, and pharmacies to stock it in states where it is legal. Additionally, it would allow state entities to produce and distribute marijuana for medical purposes without facing federal restrictions under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
