Cannabis Regulation Commission: Preparing for End of Federal Prohibition
This act establishes a special commission to study and propose how the federal government should regulate cannabis, preparing for the end of federal prohibition. The goal is to create a legal framework similar to alcohol regulation, considering impacts on communities and the economy. The commission will gather input and provide recommendations for citizens to assess future changes.
Key points
A commission will be formed to study how to safely and effectively regulate cannabis at the federal level, preparing for a potential end to federal prohibition.
The commission will propose solutions to problems caused by current prohibition, such as limited access to medical cannabis research and financial services for cannabis businesses.
Public input from citizens, experts, industry stakeholders, and individuals affected by current laws, including those with non-violent cannabis convictions, will be a key part of the commission's work.
Final recommendations aim to establish consistent rules for product safety, labeling, youth protection, and efficient tax collection, modeled after alcohol regulations.
