Washington, DC -- The 2011-2012 session of Congress marks a new era in marijuana policy at the federal level. For the first time ever, a bill to end federal marijuana prohibition has been introduced! This is just one of a number of marijuana-related bills pending in the 112th Congress. Keep reading to see how you can take action to show your representatives in Congress you support marijuana policy reform.

H.R. 2306 would remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances and would eliminate all federal penalties related to marijuana except in cases where marijuana is shipped into another state in violation of that state’s laws. This is how alcohol was treated on the federal level after prohibition.
