Sam Farr: “Because it is prohibited by Federal law and I happen to be in a State where Federal law ignores this because law…”

On the recordApril 30, 2014
Because it is prohibited by Federal law and I happen to be in a State where Federal law ignores this because law enforcement, medical folks, it is part of our system. We have worked out the regulations. You don't see the Feds coming in and busting clinics in California or people using medical marijuana. You would be busting a lot of senior citizens. Look, we have a hypocrisy in the law. That is what this amendment is trying to clear up. I ask for an ``aye'' vote. I yield back the balance of my time.
