A Congressman from Colorado is urging lawmakers not to withhold funding for higher education institutions who study and research cannabis. Congressman Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) led 25 of his colleagues in a bipartisan letter to House Education Appropriations Subcommittee Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) requesting that the federal government give money to universities and colleges that study or research cannabis. In a letter, Neguse noted that many institutions in his district are studying and researching marijuana and its impact.
