    Vote To Federally Legalize Marijuana Planned In Congress

    PolicyI cover the politics and policy of cannabis here and at Marijuana Moment.


    A key congressional committee plans to hold a historic vote on a bill to end the federal prohibition of marijuana next week, two sources with knowledge of the soon-to-be-announced action said.

    The legislation, sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act and set aside funding to begin repairing the damage of the war on drugs, which has been disproportionately waged against communities of color.

    Those programs—such as job training and legal aid for people impacted by prohibition enforcement, loans for small marijuana businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and efforts to minimize barriers to licensing and employment in the legal industry—would be paid for with a new federal five percent tax on cannabis sales instituted under the bill.


    The proposal, the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, would also block federal agencies from using “past or present cannabis or marijuana use as criteria for granting, denying, or rescinding a security clearance.”

    It currently has 55 cosponsors, all but one of whom are Democrats.

    A Senate companion is being led by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a 2020 presidential candidate, though it has not yet been scheduled for action in the GOP-controlled chamber.
