House Reintroduces MORE Act to Create Social Equity Programs Around Cannabis

The bill aims to repair the damage caused to communities disproportionately affected by the drug war.

Cannabis may be decriminalized at the federal level, but the damage the “war on drugs” caused to disenfranchised communities will take a long time to undo. A recent NBC News article discussed a bill reintroduced by congressional leaders designed to jumpstart the process. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2021 (aka the MORE Act), intends to eliminate criminal penalties, clear criminal records, and create social equity programs to repair damage to people and communities affected by decades of prohibition.
