On February 1st, Senators Cory Booker, Ron Wyden, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer released a joint statement declaring their intention to release a draft discussion bill outlining how best to legalize and regulate cannabis and cannabis commerce in a post-prohibition America.
This marks the first time we have seen a coalition of Senate leaders publicly announce their intent to introduce and move legislation in the Upper Chamber that seeks to end federal cannabis criminalization.
Please send a message to your Senators right now to ensure that they will work with this coalition to move this important legislation forward. In the final days of the 116th Congress, House members historically voted to approve legislation (The MORE Act) repealing federal marijuana prohibition. It is time to build upon this momentum and work with Senate leadership to advance similar language in the Upper Chamber and, ultimately, to the President’s desk.
