Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Ron Wyden (D-OR), along with 13 other Democratic original cosponsors, reintroduced the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA) to end the federal prohibition of marijuana and establish a regulatory framework governing its production, sale, and use.
“Today’s order marks a historical reversal in federal cannabis policy. It validates the experiences of tens of millions of Americans, as well as those of tens of thousands of physicians, who have long recognized that cannabis possesses legitimate medical utility, as well as the legitimacy of the longstanding medical cannabis access programs available in the majority of US states.”
