Cannabis Decriminalization Bill Cosponsored By U.S. Rep. Panetta If passed, the bill would enable states to set their own policies on the drug. The bill would decriminalize cannabis at the federal level and allow for a review of cannabis convictions. WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) cosponsored a bill that would decriminalize cannabis at the federal level. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement, or MORE, Act would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, allowing states to set their own policies, Panetta’s office said in a press release this month. The bill would also allow for a reassessment of cannabis-related charges and expungement of prior offenders. It would allow for the consideration of a five percent sales tax on cannabis products to fund three grant programs related to: aiding people most negatively impacted by “the War on Drugs” through job training, mentoring and more; providing funds for small cannabis businesses owned by socioeconomically disadvantaged people; and making it easier for people impacted by “the War on Drugs” to get funding to open up a cannabis-related business, the press release said. #decriminalization #panetta #federal #thewarondrugs #reefermadness #holysmokestv #holysmokes #holysmokestimes #oneman #solo #cannabis #reform #legalization #safeaccess #news #ismokecannabis #medicalcannabis #thc #cbd #breal #rawlife #rawlife247 #losangeles #california #ca #la #knowyourroots #change #marijuana #youfighttolive (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8dmmA_hvLG/?igshid=yeo4edu4i7o2
