CAERES stands for The Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States, and dropped earlier this week. This is a historical event in the world of legalized marijuana mostly because both republican and democratic senators have come together to support it. It is more or less to lessen the restraints on states whom have already chosen to legalize medical use of marijuana but will put in place a foundations for others to follow suit. For example a dear friend of mine can be prescribed medical marijuana in his own state and has access to it, though due to its listing as a Schedule 1 drug he cannot get it on his medicare.
My friend has a seizure once every 8 to 12 days on average when he doesn't have access to marijuana. He was injured at work due to his disorder, has lost his drivers license and is now on social security. He lives on a very tight fixed income, so it's not like he can supply himself with weed whenever he wants a buzz or whatever. When he can smoke though his seizure are reduced to about one every four or five months or better.
I've stated multiple times on these forums that I am absolutely 100% pro recreational legalization, but if that is a leap or a bound then the CARES act is certainly a baby step toward that goal. Below is a link that will put you in contact with the appropriate representatives to help the cause, please take the time to let your voice be heard.
