Griffith Says Latest Pot Bill, Is Right Way To Legislate Marijuana

Southwest Virginia, Ninth District Congressman Morgan Griffith has evolved in his thinking and support for legalized marijuana. Griffith originally opposed a broad bill to legalize pot, expunge convictions and provide taxpayer support for businesses and individuals associated with the marijuana industry. But now, the Republican Congressman says he supports the latest attempt as the House approves the Medical Marijuana Research Act. The act would ensure a sufficient supply of research quality pot through the National Institute of Drug Abuse Drug Supply Program. Griffith,now says the bill is the right way to legislate marijuana with prudence and based on scientific data.
