See you in D.C. this April for this Unity Day of Action being led by our friends @lastprisonerprj! It’s time to speak with one collective voice that Congress must de-schedule and stop the practice of putting people in cages for possessing a plant. Save the date! 4/18/24.

Today would be a good day for @JoeBiden to call on Congress to fully de-schedule #cannabis and make good on his promise to decriminalize #marijuana so that no human gets locked in a cage for a plant.

Giving early access to medical operators cements the inequities that often come with limited license medical marketplaces like VA. Take a look at @MinCannBusAssoc’s 2022 National Cannabis Equity Report where we point out this can give MSO’s a significant head start over equity operators. For example, in Illinois where medical operators gained access to the adult use market in January 2020, the first social equity licensee wasn’t operational until Oct of 2022 — almost three years later. minoritycannabis.org/equitymap/

Mahalo to @WizKaliko for his years of service to MCBA! 🫡 Going out on top after winning Trade Association of the Year at #MJBizCon and the Diversity and Inclusion Champion Award from @m4mmunited! ✊🏾

Last official @MinCannBusAssoc meeting as MCBA President last night. So many feelings but definitely feeling proud of where I managed to leave the organization and the amazing board class we recruited. Next generation of MCBA leadership about to make a name for themselves.

While we support #SAFEBanking & have worked hard to improve the bill for our members and our communities, we appreciate @SenatorWarnock for continuing to make sure equity is part of the conversation. Those disproportionately harmed should be able to disproportionately benefit.
Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock@SenatorWarnock

Communities across America have been hollowed out by the War on Drugs & mass incarceration—yet enough hasn't been done to address the impact of these policies. At yesterday's Banking hearing, I asked Wall Street CEOs if they’ll commit to supporting standards to create equity:

…or help @MinCannBusAssoc win Trade Association of the Year, but as I reflect on 12 years of advocacy, I’m proud to have played a small role in this big thing we call the #cannabis movement.

WOW: In a major reversal, the Ohio Senate General Government Committee approved a bill that maintains marijuana home grow rights, adds expungements and allows adults to purchase cannabis from existing medical dispensaries immediately. marijuanamoment.net/ohio-senate-co…

Schedule 3 would mean that state adult use AND medical cannabis programs would remain completely illegal under federal law. These governors should be calling for and end to federal criminalization. 📢The problem isn’t the schedule— it’s the Controlled Substances Act .

The governors of six states sent a letter urging President Joe Biden to ensure that the Drug Enforcement Administration reschedules marijuana to Schedule III by the end of this year—a matter of less than four weeks from now. marijuanamoment.net/six-governors-…
