“H.R. 5843: To eliminate most Federal penalties for possession of marijuana for personal use, and for other purposes”
This bill was introduced on 4/17/08 and is being scheduled for debate. I urge you to do as I have done; contact your local representatives and urge them to support it.
Sponsor – Rep. Barney Frank [D-MA]

As you can see this is not a partisan bill. It has the support of both the left and the right.

“This bill was introduced on 4/17/08 and is being scheduled for debate.” when will the debate be?

This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced bills go first to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills never make it out of committee. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.
