Marijuana Moment report…

Congressional Democrats have filed a new marijuana resolution that urges officials to ensure equity in the industry and address the consequences of the war on drugs—while also pushing President Donald Trump to take the lead in advocating for global cannabis reform at the United Nations.

Reps. Troy Carter (D-LA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Lateefah Simon (D-CA) and Dina Titus (D-NV)—leaders in the Congressional Cannabis Caucus—introduced the latest version of the Realizing Equitable & Sustainable Participation in Emerging Cannabis Trades (RESPECT) Resolution on Thursday, along with additional cosponsors.

The measure is largely identical to a version filed last session, with certain additions.

“For decades, harsh cannabis laws devastated Black, Brown, and low-income communities. Today, those same communities are facing new barriers that prevent many of them from benefiting from the opportunities offered by a multi-billion-dollar industry,” Omar said in a press release.

“Congress has a responsibility to ensure that cannabis policy expands access to capital and invests in entrepreneurs whose communities were most harmed by outdated drug laws,” she said.

The resolution calls for “action to increase equity within cannabis policy and the legal cannabis marketplace,” promoting not only state and local decriminalization but also encouraging the adoption of specific “best practices” around regulated markets.

The measure also expresses the “sense of the House” that Trump should direct administration officials to “use the voice, vote, and influence” of the U.S. to push the United Nations (UN) and its Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) to “deschedule cannabis from the international drug control treaties, expunge and forgive penalties relating to cannabis for prior offenses, acknowledge and study the impacts of controlling cannabis through international treaties, and treat cannabis as a legal commodity.”

Carter said cannabis prohibition “failed our communities” and has “disproportionately harmed people of color, fueling mass incarceration, ruining families, taking away opportunities, and burdening them with criminal records.”

“It’s past time for the federal government to address the racial disparities that persist in the cannabis space and create inclusive pathways for people to access economic wealth,” he said.

Under the proposal, states and local governments are encouraged “adopt best practices and take bold steps” to enact a number of reforms around marijuana designed to address disparities in participation in legal marketplaces and to “address, reverse, and repair the most egregious effects of the War on Drugs.”

The “whereas” section of the resolution on reform trends was revised since the last version to note that Colorado and Washington State were the first to regulate cannabis more than a decade ago, and states have since “generated a combined total of nearly $25 billion in tax revenue from the legal adult use of marijuana products sales.”

It was also amended to note that Germany, among other European countries, have taken steps to end prohibition within their borders since the prior version was introduced in Congress.
