Last month, the Trump administration reclassified medical marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug. I applauded it. So did sensible people everywhere.

Pete Ricketts is doing everything he can to STOP it.

With Ricketts' coordination, it was just announced that Nebraska AG Mike Hilgers and two other state AGs filed a lawsuit to BLOCK the Trump Justice Department's order.

Nebraska farmers could be growing this. Nebraska small businesses could be selling it. Instead, Pete's keeping that money out of our state and hurting patients and caregivers.

Newly unveiled VA documents obtained via FOIA reveal how rescheduling could increase veterans’ ability to legally access medical cannabis through VA doctors—and also show what won't change under the reform.

“So the rescheduling is starting, and that's a big thing- rescheduling.

I want to thank Mr. And Mrs. Howard Kessler. He's one of the most successful men in the world, actually. And he had some medical difficulties, and he came upon this by accident in a way. And he said he had to go through a lot of different medications. And he said this was the one that was much better than anything else.

And so he experienced it. He didn't benefit by it other than from the standpoint that he lives a much better life now.

So hopefully you don't need it. But if you do need it I hear it's the best of all the alternatives. But I want to thank Howard Kessler and Michele Kessler.

They really pushed us very hard. These are two people, very straight arrows. They're not into marijuana. They're not into anything. But he found this answer, and he said he's doing it for other people.

And so Howard and Michele, probably they're watching or they'll be hearing about it. But they worked very hard to get this done. And it's an honor, and you've done fantastically. You all have and I appreciate it.”

I am pleased to see that the House Rules Committee made my and @RepBrianMast's amendment to allow medical marijuana recommendations @DeptVetAffairs in order. I will continue fighting to get this provision over the finish line. Our veterans deserve the best health care that they can get and should not be left behind.
