Thank you for taking the time to contact my office about H.R. 2835, the Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act. Your input is important to me, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.

I appreciate you bringing this situation to my attention, and I agree with you that a person should not be denied access to needed medical care for legally following their doctor’s advice. The Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act is currently in the House of Representatives and has not been introduced in the Senate; however, I do not support the legalization of marijuana or any legislation that declassifies it as a Schedule I drug.

Thank you again for your letter. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with me.

Sincerely,

Bob Corker
United States Senator
