MORE Act

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 4734, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main goal of the MORE Act is to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level and address the racial disparities in marijuana enforcement.

The MORE Act would remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances, effectively legalizing it at the federal level. This would allow states to regulate marijuana as they see fit, without interference from the federal government. The bill also includes provisions to expunge prior marijuana convictions and provide resources for communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs.

Additionally, the MORE Act would impose a federal tax on marijuana sales, with the revenue generated going towards programs that support individuals and communities affected by the war on drugs. This tax revenue would also be used to fund job training, reentry services, and legal aid for those impacted by marijuana prohibition. Overall, the MORE Act aims to address the social and economic injustices caused by marijuana prohibition and create a more equitable and just system for all Americans.
