Cannabis Rescheduling Is a Band-Aid, This Bill Is Actually Trying to Treat the Wound

Senate Democrats just refiled a bill that does the thing rescheduling was never designed to do: end federal cannabis prohibition outright. Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, and Ron Wyden reintroduced the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act on July 16, and while it will almost certainly die in a Republican-controlled House the same way its last two versions did, it’s worth sitting with why this bill matters more than the rescheduling process everyone in Washington is currently fixated on.
