According to a recent Marijuana Moment article, marijuana reform is becoming a priority in the new Democratic Senate. Senate leaders intend to release draft legislation to begin the process of policy change on a federal level.
At the head of the effort is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, and Senator Cory Booker. The three released a joint statement saying that ending cannabis prohibition “is necessary to right the wrongs of this failed war and end decades of harm inflicted on communities of color across the country.”
