Days after the Drug Enforcement Administration agreed to reclassify cannabis under federal law, the march toward country-wide legalization continues.
With cannabis rescheduling paving the way for new research and financial opportunities in the industry, it seems this reform has also opened doors for more massive changes. The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act was reintroduced this week by 18 Democratic Senators, including Sen. Cory Booker, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Sen. Ron Wyden. The bill aims to legalize marijuana nationwide, reflecting a historic shift in public opinion and federal restrictions.
The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA) would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), ending the criminal prohibition of marijuana at the federal level and allowing the states to adopt their own laws to regulate the drug.
