HOUSE TO VOTE ON LEGALIZATION THIS WEEK

The U.S. House of Representatives is set for a historic vote on the MORE Act, which would legalize cannabis federally and create various equity benefits, while allowing states to open markets at their own pace.

• The Congressional Research Service notes that the law would “create a new divide between federal and state law—essentially the reverse of the current marijuana policy gap, since federal marijuana law would become less strict than some state laws.”
• However, the bill is unlikely to pass the Senate, especially if the upper chamber remains under Republican control following the two upcoming runoff elections in Georgia.

In an open letter, the Weed for Warriors Project, an NGO supporting MED access for veterans, expressed opposition to the MORE Act.

• According to CEO Sean T. Kiernan, taxes and regulations in the bill would make it harder for disabled veterans to afford MED, while giving a tax cut to cannabis executives.
