​The MORE Act has passed all of its subcommittees and goes to the House Floor at the end of September. This is a historic bill because it will remove THC from the CSA (Controlled Substances Act) which removes our biggest stumbling block to cannabis! 

Summary: MORE Act H.R.3884 — 116th Congress (2019-2020)
Specifically, it removes marijuana from the list of scheduled substances under the Controlled Substances Act and eliminates criminal penalties for an individual who manufactures, distributes, or possesses marijuana.
The bill also makes other changes, including the following:

• replaces statutory references to marijuana and marihuana with cannabis,
• requires the Bureau of Labor Statistics to regularly publish demographic data on cannabis business owners and employees,
• establishes a trust fund to support various programs and services for individuals and businesses in communities impacted by the war on drugs,
• imposes a 5% tax on cannabis products and requires revenues to be deposited into the trust fund,
• makes Small Business Administration loans and services available to entities that are cannabis-related legitimate businesses or service providers,
• prohibits the denial of federal public benefits to a person on the basis of certain cannabis-related conduct or convictions,
• prohibits the denial of benefits and protections under immigration laws on the basis of a cannabis-related event (e.g., conduct or a conviction), and
• establishes a process to expunge convictions and conduct sentencing review hearings related to federal cannabis offenses.
