Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment

The Rohrabacher–Farr Amendment, also known as the Rohrabacher–Blumenauer Amendment, is a provision in the United States federal budget that prohibits the Department of Justice from using appropriated funds to prosecute or interfere with state-legal medical cannabis programs. It was first introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2001, and passed the House in May 2014 after six previously failed attempts. It became law in December 2014 as part of an omnibus spending bill.
