There is a chance to make Marijuana legal on the federal level. What most people don’t understand is, VA doctors have said they would rather give prescriptions for it than most of the drugs given to our veterans. They can’t, even if it is legal in their state because on the federal level, it is still illegal.
The Bill passed the House but doesn’t really stand a chance to pass the senate unless we get our senators to support it, vote for it and deliver equality for all to make their own choices.
The House passed a far-reaching marijuana legalization bill on Friday by a 220-204 vote, largely along party lines and still with no real path to President Joe Biden’s desk.

Why does it matter if it is legal in your state? Because if you travel into another state where it isn’t, you just broke the law.
Plus, the industry is not taxed because they cannot have bank accounts.
The fact that marijuana possession and use remains illegal under federal law affects both recreational and medical uses. The legislators and tax expert agreed that because marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning, among other things, that it has no medical benefits, physicians may not write a traditional prescription for medical purposes. Most states that allow marijuana for medical use refer to physician “referrals” or “recommendations”—and not prescriptions—to allow use for medical reasons. Schedule I status also prohibits the federal government from funding most research on the potential health and social effects of marijuana.
To overcome the banking hurdle, pending federal legislative and administrative measures would consider rescheduling marijuana as a Schedule II product, and allow state-legalized marijuana businesses to bank like other businesses.

This is why you should contact your senator and tell them you want this done finally. If you have PTSD and your doctor wants you to use pot instead of the drugs that make you numb or depress the hell out of you, but even medical pot isn’t legal in your state, they’ll be able to take care of you. Other medical conditions, including cancer will be able to find relief too.
This is how you contact your senator! Remember, they do work for you even though they forget that most of the time until they need your vote to stay in the office you put them in.
