WASHINGTON, D. C. - Bainbridge Township Republican Rep. Dave Joyce on Thursday joined fellow Congressional Cannabis Caucus co-chairs in introducing a bill to lift a federal ban on doctors at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs from discussing, recommending or prescribing medical marijuana in states where it’s legal.
Because marijuana remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance under federal law, VA doctors aren’t allowed to discuss it with their patients or prescribe it, Joyce’s office said.
The legislation Joyce is co-sponsoring with California Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee and Hawaii Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz would also create a five-year safe harbor protection for both veterans who use medical marijuana and their doctors.

A bill approved by the Senate yesterday will ideally take a step toward combating the surge of hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans.
Senate Bill 937, the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, will assign a Justice Department official to review and record hate crimes related to COVID-19.
Sponsored by Hawaii Democratic Sen. Maize Hirono, its purpose is for the Department of Justice to “facilitate the expedited review” of the hate crimes that have been on a rapid increase in the US throughout the pandemic. If it progresses to final action, this bill could improve investigating and reporting of hate crimes on both the national and local levels.
