The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to allow states to set their own rules regulating medical marijuana, as part of a broader measure that would authorize another year of funding for the Justice Department.
The amendment to the Commerce, Justice and Science appropriations bill, offered by Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) and Sam Farr (D-Calif.), would block the Justice Department from using federal funds to interfere with state medical marijuana laws. It passed with 242 votes, including 67 Republicans.
