Federal agents would be barred from using tax dollars to crack down on medical marijuana operations in states where it’s legal.
The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 22-8 to approve the measure, which would block the Department of Justice and DEA from using federal funds to interrupt medical marijuana programs, Huffington Post reports.
If passed, the bill would protect marijuana users and growers in 23 states and the District of Columbia, where medical cannabis is legal.
Despite the state laws, the federal government still does not recognize marijuana as having medicinal benefits.
