    at removing federal restrictions on the individual use of marijuana (HR 
    5843)</A>.  One 
    bill would remove federal penalties for the personal use of marijuana, and 
    the other (HR 5842) – versions of which Frank has filed in several preceding sessions 
    of Congress – would allow the medical use of marijuana in states that have 
    chosen to make its use for medical purposes legal with a doctor’s 
    recommendation. Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) joined Frank as a cosponsor 
    of the federal penalties bill. The cosponsors of the medical marijuana bill 
    are Rep. Paul, along with Reps. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Dana Rohrabacher 
    (R-CA), and Sam Farr (D-CA).</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.house.gov/frank/marijuana041708.html"><P align="center">Congressman Also Files Bill Permitting Medical Use of Marijuana in States that Choose to Allow it with Doctor’s
