MCIG Applauds the Senate for Protecting Legal Marijuana

HENDERSON, NV--(Marketwired - Aug 3, 2017) - mCig, Inc. (OTCQB: MCIG). By voice vote, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a budget bill amendment called the Rohrabacher-Blumenaur amendment preventing the federal government from interfering with medical marijuana programs in states where Cannabis is legal for medical use, which passed last week. This move greatly benefits mCig and its divisions, allowing them to effectively pursue growing its core competencies serving the ancillary legal Cannabis, Hemp and CBD markets. 

The amendment is to the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Bill for 2018. Through this amendment, the federal government is prevented from using federal funds prohibiting states from implementing their own laws that permit the use, cultivation, possession and distribution of medical marijuana. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is no longer permitted to investigate or pursue prosecution for violations of federal laws involving medical marijuana in states that have legalized the use of Cannabis for medical purposes absent any evidence that the defendant violated state law.

It has become clear that over 90 percent of the public approves of marijuana use for medicinal purposes and our federal government now has the responsibility to ensure that our legislation reflect those views. It is clear that the legal marijuana industry is experiencing considerable momentum and growth that has been and will continue to prove favorable for businesses and investors in this industry.
