H.R.3884 - Marijuana Oppotunirty Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019

"Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by the criminalization of marijuana with higher sentences than their white peers. #MOREAct—which we just passed in the House—takes important steps to address this injustice by removing threat of federal marijuana charges. This comprehensive reform bill decriminalizes marijuana at a federal level, allowing states to choose how to regulate marijuana and reevaluating the previous punishment for marijuana charges." (04/02/22)

"On vote of 228 – 164, the House passed the #MOREAct, which I voted for & sponsored. It would end threat of federal intervention w/state marijuana policies & permits states to decide how to regulate it. Effort led by @repblumenauer #EndCannabisProhibition" (12/04/20)
