Texas Congressman Steve Stockman has become the 19th sponsor of H.R. 1523 the “Respect State Marijuana Laws Act.”

The proposal would require the federal government to respect the law of states which decide to legalize cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes. The proposal would forbid the government from enforcing federal prohibition in the states that have legalized it. This measure was released back in April of this year.

Other sponsors include Republicans Dana
Rohrabacher [CA], Justin Amash [MI] and Don Young [AK], along with
Democrats such as Earl Blumenauer [OR], Steve Cohen [TN] and Jared Polis
[CO].
