FL H1179

Florida Legislature urges Congress to remove marijuana from the Schedule I drug list under the Controlled Substances Act.

Argues that marijuana should be allowed for medical research and clinical use to treat debilitating diseases, cancer, and other ailments.

Notes that 23 states and the District of Columbia already recognize marijuana's medical value, but federal restrictions prevent adequate clinical studies.

Requests that copies of the memorial be sent to the President, Senate President, House Speaker, and all members of the Florida congressional delegation.
