Cannabis Policy Vote May Happen by End of 2020

The MORE Act would be historic in that it would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, opening a path for regulations to follow.

The U.S. House is expected to vote on the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act before the end of the year, after being delayed in September due other priorities such as COVID-19 relief and government budget negotiation. A vote is expected to take place after the federal election.

The MORE Act would be historic in that it would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, though it would take time for regulations to be developed. It would also allow states to choose how they regulate cannabis, including permitting Veterans Administration (VA)-affiliated physicians to make medical cannabis recommendations to qualifying veterans. A 5% federal retail sales tax would be imposed, with revenue directed to programs that benefit those impacted by previous laws.
