Rohrabacher-Blumenauer, which is named for its sponsors U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), is a separate protection from the Cole Memo, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions scrapped earlier this year. It prevents law enforcement agencies like the DEA from prosecuting medical marijuana in legal states whereas the Cole Memo extended that protection to recreational marijuana.

The full text of the amendment, reads:

“None of the funds made available in this Act to the Department of Justice may be used, with respect to the States of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, to prevent such States from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.”
