Pelosi Statement on Recent Federal Government Actions Threatening Safe Access to Medicinal Marijuana


May 2, 2012
San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to recent federal government actions threatening safe access to medicinal marijuana for those who are seriously ill or enduring difficult and painful therapies:


“Access to medicinal marijuana for individuals who are ill or enduring difficult and painful therapies is both a medical and a states’ rights issue. Sixteen states, including our home state of California, and the District of Columbia have adopted medicinal marijuana laws – most by a vote of the people.



“I have strong concerns about the recent actions by the federal government that threaten the safe access of medicinal marijuana to alleviate the suffering of patients in California, and undermine a policy that has been in place under which the federal government did not pursue individuals whose actions complied with state laws providing for medicinal marijuana.




“Proven medicinal uses of marijuana include improving the quality of life for patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, and other severe medical conditions.
“I am pleased to join organizations that support legal access to medicinal marijuana, including the American Nurses Association, the Lymphoma Foundation of America, and the AIDS Action Council.




“Medicinal marijuana alleviates some of the most debilitating symptoms of AIDS, including pain, wasting, and nausea. The opportunity to ease the suffering of people who are seriously ill or enduring difficult and painful therapies is an opportunity we must not ignore.




“For these reasons, I have long supported efforts in Congress to advocate federal policies that recognize the scientific evidence and clinical research demonstrating the medical benefits of medicinal marijuana, that respects the wishes of the states in providing relief to ill individuals, and that prevents the federal government from acting to harm the safe access of medicinal marijuana provided under state law. I will continue to strongly support those efforts."

I've never thought much of her, and I still don't, but maybe this is a sign that things are swinging in the right direction. The former Democratic speaker of the house is questioning federal policies that are taking place under a democratic president!

Good job, Pelosi!

You guys just can't let a positive thing be a positive thing, can you? What everybody thinks of Pelosi isn't the important thing - more public dialog is, IMO.

bentom, it is THE PERFECT BILL. You seriously couldn't ask for more. just gets the Federal govt out of pot completely, no controls, size or plant limits, or taxes.

its still sitting in the house committe by the way, unfortunately lamar smith heads that committee(he also wrote SOPA) and has vowed it wont even get voted on. BULLSHIT. A few people were protesting his office in Austin a little while ago, but not much came of it.

This isn't the first time Nancy has supported MMJ. It's just been awhile since she has publicly supported MMJ. While speaker of the house she was totally silent on the issue. Yeah she is up for re-election. She is a piece of crap.

Yeah all politicians can be viewed as pieces of crap, but we must take the victories that we can get no matter how small, and this is one. Pelosi is one that does not break ranks that often, hence her being speaker, but obviously she is standing up here and I am very happy for that. It amazes me how much I see conservative tenets penetrate the average herbie on sites like these, I would think that most people had stopped listening to negative rhetoric that Fox news and other Repub outfits are so good at pushing. I wouldn't care if it was Dick Cheney, who I think there is no worse person in the world, if he came out on our side I would give him props too. We need all the help we can get, shit I am in S.F. right now, less than 7 dispensaries are open.......we need help!
