ALERT: Support New Medical Marijuana Bills in Congress Support New Medical Marijuana Bills in Congress Take Action! Three New Bills Would Protect Medical Marijuana Patients and Businesses Nationwide
On May 25, 2011, a bipartisan group of US Representatives introduced three new medical marijuana bills. H.R. 1983 would exempt people complying with state medical marijuana laws from federal arrest and prosecution. H.R. 1984 would protect banks accepting deposits made by medical marijuana dispensaries. And H.R. 1985 would allow the dispensaries to deduct business expenses on their federal taxes like any other business, putting an end to dozens of industry IRS audits already underway.
