Bipartisan Lawmakers Target Marijuana Rescheduling Restriction

Category: Politics

Bipartisan lawmakers are working to remove a provision in a spending bill that restricts the Justice Department from rescheduling marijuana. Rep. Nancy Mace and Rep. Rashida Tlaib have introduced amendments to strike this restriction, aligning with the DOJ's upcoming cannabis rescheduling process. Other amendments aim to protect hemp products, end federal bans on local marijuana sales in D.C., and allow VA doctors to recommend medical marijuana.
