Track federal and state cannabis legislation, support reform campaigns, and take action to change laws. The fight for legalization isn't over—it's just beginning.
The most critical policy changes needed to create a just and equitable cannabis industry
Remove cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. This is the single most important policy change needed to end federal prohibition.
Automatic expungement of cannabis convictions in all legal states. Over 8 million Americans have cannabis arrest records that limit employment, housing, and opportunities.
Ensure communities harmed by prohibition benefit from legalization. Require equity licensing, reinvestment, and ownership opportunities.
Mandate labor standards, living wages, and organizing rights for cannabis workers. The industry must not replicate exploitation.
