Congressional Hearing on Descheduling Marijuana
Congress held a Congressional hearing to deschedule marijuana today. Here’s what we think is the roadmap toward full legalization:1. Expand defunding DOJ from enforcing federal marijuana law,2.

Use CSA as protectionist policy to protect domestic cannabis market.5. drop marijuana from the CSA.Abbey G.
