Exciting times for marijuana reform with some highlights from Marijuana Law, Policy & Reform

A high-profile federal marijunana reform bill with provisions seeking to redress the harms of the drug war, the MORE Act, was passed by the US House of Representative today.  Because the bill has no chance to move forward in the Senate as of now, I am disinclined to blog at great length about the particulars of this bill.  But I am inclined to use this moment as an excuse to highlight some posts of note on this topic and others from my blogging at Marijuana Law, Policy & Reform: 

• MORE Act passed by US House, but party-line vote suggests uncertain future for federal reform

• Rounding up a few headlines just before historic vote on MORE Act to end federal marijuana prohibition

• How many House Republicans are going to vote in support of the MORE Act?

• Highlighting again DEPC call for proposals for new Marijuana Research Grants Program

• United Nations reclassifies cannabis as less dangerous

• “Preventing Industry Abuse of Cannabis Equity Program”

• Diving into Oklahoma’s experience as “Hottest Weed Market”

• Might Prez Trump soon give federal marijuana prisoners something to be thankful for?
