Barney Frank Introduces Marijuana Legislation

A Representative from Massachusetts has introduced two bills in 2 weeks that if passed would change the Marijuana movement. It needs a whole shit load more attention then the press and his fellow colleagues are given it.

The first is for the medical users. I'm not clear on the wording but it says something like the Feds aren't allowed to harass citizens for possessing/consuming/growing if they are obeying the State laws in which most are.

The second is for recreational users. "The Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults" I love the name of it even! It would remove the federal laws but not superseding State laws. It will also allow citizens over the age of 21 to possess up 100g or 3 1/2 ounces. Just under a 'quarter pound'
