House Resolution 499, currently buried in committee, would put an
end to the federal prohibition of marijuana. The bill was introduced by
Representative Jared Polis of Colorado.
The bill, aptly named the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2013, is crystal clear in its intent. The summary available to Congress in part states that the bill
Eliminates marijuana as: (1) a controlled substance for purposes of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act or the National Forest System Drug Control Act of 1986, (2) a dangerous drug for purposes of federal criminal code provisions authorizing interception of communications, and (3) a targeted drug for purposes of provisions of the national youth anti-drug media campaign under the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998.
