Barney Frank introduces marijuana legislation to Congress

On April 17th, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) introduced legislation to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana. The bill, dubbed the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008, marks the first time in decades that Congress has considered removing criminal penalties for marijuana.

Congressman Frank's legislation would decriminalize the possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana and the not-for-profit transfer of one ounce of marijuana. Bill HR 5843 incorporates the basic recommendation of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission), who published its findings in 1972.
