Representative Rob Bishop, joined by the entire Utah House delegation and supported also by the Senate, introduced HR 4825: the Marijuana Effective Drug Study Act this week. Known as the MEDS Act, the effort is aimed at creating a reasoned and responsible environment where the best minds areable to analyze and examine marijuana for medicinal use. “The MEDS Act is common sense,” shares Rep. Bishop. “When presented with an opportunity to alleviate the suffering of those afflicted with painful disorders, we must take it. We don’t know all the answers when it comes to the effects of medical-grade marijuana. This legislation allows scientists and researchers to get at those answers in a responsible manner that isn’t hindered by unnecessary roadblocks.”
