LastOneSpeaks discusses more of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources hearings on medicinal marijuana (see my report on Kampia’s testimony) and gives the link to the detailed transcript of oral hearings.
You get a real sense of the intent of the hearings when you read the opening statement:
SOUDER: Subcommittee will now come to order.æ Good afternoon, and thank you all for coming.æ This hearing will address a highly controversial topic: the use of marijuana for so-called medical purposes. [emphasis added]
