Zitat:"On Feb. 16, 2017, the Congressional Cannabis Caucus held a press conference in Washington, D.C., to address the future of cannabis policy reform in the United States.
Joined by Reps. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., Don Young, R-Alaska, and Jared Polis, D-Colo., co-chairs of the caucus, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., delivered the opening remarks.
?Today is a happy day because we are announcing a bipartisan coalition to try to do something that?s really important for our country and the well being of our people, something that?s been controversial for a long time, but we?re stepping forward together to say we?ve got to make major changes in our country?s attitude towards cannabis,? Rohrabacher said....Following Rohrabacher, Blumenauer identified that the caucus would focus on policy reform related to medical marijuana research, safe access for veterans, cooperation from the Veterans Administration when working with veterans who live in states with legal marijuana and legal access to practical business services for state-legal marijuana businesses.... I?m also interested in the banking part of it,? Young said. ?My goal is to make sure ? as they do this business, they can run it as a business, get loans from banks and put the revenue back into the banks as every other business does. I think that?s crucially important to make it work correctly.?....?From banking to housing to taxes to small businesses to jobs to agriculture, the four of us represent districts that frankly will be damaged and our constituents will be hurt by overreaching federal authority because of the discrepancy between federal and state marijuana laws,? Polis said. " ENDE Zitat
