There’s a new political action committee dedicated to defeating members of Congress who cast votes against marijuana, a development that could aid MJ businesses through the passage of pro-cannabis legislation.
The new PAC is dubbed the Cannabis Fund, and it was founded by U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, the Statesman Journal reported.
Even though the Cannabis Fund had raised only $2,000 through June – a pittance in terms of political spending – Blumenauer told a cannabis business conference last month he intends to pay for billboards in Sessions’ district.
The signs will attack Sessions for anti-medical cannabis moves, including the Texan’s opposition to an amendment that would have allowed military vets to obtain MMJ through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“I want to see even more pro-cannabis candidates elected to Congress and continue the wave of reforms happening at the state level,” Blumenauer told the Statesman Journal.
“And we want to make clear that there are consequences for those elected officials opposing what a majority of the public supports,”
The Farm Bill offers new business opportunities for hemp - plus banking, tax and insurance help.
When the Republican tax plan which massively shifts the tax burden away from the rich, and also disallows deductions for state and local income tax passes, all of the states with income taxes will be scrambling for revenue. Cannabis will be the obvious short-term answer.
I love it! Time for these moralistic nut cases to pay the price for their crimes against humanity..
I commend Rep. Blumenauer for starting this PAC. Please tell me how I can contribute and I’ll recommend the various advocate groups mobilize their members to do the same. Politicians like the Governor of Maine should be defeated for flaunting the will of the Maine citizens.

I’d be more than happy to support this in any way so we can defeat politicians that oppose legalizing both medical and recreational marijuana use.
Jack Herer is smiling down on Blumenauer. I’m smiling too!
