WASHINGTON -- Vermont's Sens. Patrick Leahy and James Jeffords have signed on as co-sponsors of a medical marijuana bill introduced by Illinois Democrat Richard Durban.

Like the House version of the bill, the Senate Truth in Trials Act would end the federal government's gag on medical marijuana defendants in court, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.

By providing an affirmative defense to federal marijuana charges, it would not only ensure that defendants could introduce evidence about the medical aspects of their marijuana-related activities, but also keep them from being sent to federal prison if it is determined that they were acting in compliance with state medical marijuana laws.

We have documented in detail how the Iran-contra drug-running and gun-running operations run out of Bush's own office played their role in increasing the heroin, crack, cocaine, and marijuana brought into this country. We have reviewed Bush's relations with his close supporters in the Wall Street LBO gang, much of whose liquidity is derived from narcotics payments which the banking system is eager to recycle and launder."
