John Rose on Drugs

 

 


Rescheduling marijuana will not make America great

Representative John Rose joined his colleagues on a letter [to President Trump in opposition to his plan to reduce marijuana penalties]:

"Rescheduling marijuana will not make America great. You have always been a role model for America's youth, telling young people for years that they should never do drugs. We hope that you consider the harms of marijuana rescheduling and continue sending that strong message of hope to the next generation," the Representatives contended.

Amendment: no criminal associations re: cannabis banking

A congressional committee voted to approve legislation aimed at increasing marijuana businesses' access to banks. An amendment from Rep. John Rose (R-TN) would have required banks to attest that they have internal controls ensuring that no funds have been deposited in their institutions that are associated with illegal organizations. It was rejected in voice and roll call votes, with the latter tallying 33 to 27.
