Medical marijuana bill in US Senate has no MN co-sponsors

Few doctors in MN recommend medical marijuana. One of the reasons is that marijuana is prohibited by federal law.

There is a bill in the US Senate called the CARERS Act to recognize that marijuana has medical uses.

15 Senators have co-sponsored.

However, Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar haven't.

Please use this form to ask them to co-sponsor:
