It was a big week in Washington for the industry and I don’t mean the debates or the impeachment hearings. The House Judiciary Committee passed the MORE Act, which is legislation to remove cannabis from the controlled substances act and decriminalize it. It will also remove prior and pending marijuana convictions. The next step would be for the legislation to go to a full house vote and then on to the senate. After that, it would still need to be signed by the president. It’s the most comprehensive cannabis reform bills introduced in Congress.
