I say Jason Chaffetz for Vice President! This man is a jewel in politics that many people know nothing about. He truly is fighting for the rights of the people.

Lets support him with recognition and spread the word about Rep. Chaffetz. He is trying to do the right thing for the citizens of the United States. He certainly is a breath of fresh air!

"Patients who qualify to receive treatment should not have to fear prosecution by the federal government," Chaffetz said in a statement. "States have taken the lead on this issue, and the federal government should follow."

Marijuana use, which is classified as a Schedule 1 substance, remains illegal under federal law. Other schedule 1 substances include heroin, ecstasy and bath salts.

Fifteen states, including Utah, have passed legislation permitting medical use of CBD oil, according to Chaffetz.
