How The House Approved MORE Act Would Jack Up The Economy
The House of Representatives approved a piece of legislation (MORE Act) last week to eliminate the cannabis plant from the Controlled Substances Act and work to expunge criminal records and dedicate funds to those communities choking on the bones of the drug war. But the bill is not expected to advance with Senate support. More accurately, it’s probably dead in its tracks.
This inaction is mostly because top-ranking Republicans are still morally opposed to legal weed. They argue that the country needs to focus first on fixing the economy crushed by the novel coronavirus and bring jobs back to millions of #americans still waiting on some kind of relief.
Marijuana has proven to be a pandemic-proof slice of American commerce. Early on, during the initial wave of shutdowns, many states deemed #cannabis dispensaries essential businesses, allowing them to continue servicing customers in #uncertaintimes. And cannabis consumers took full advantage of it, too.
And even though Biden claims not to support full-blown legalization, many believe he might adapt to a more progressive policy if Congress were to find a way to approve it. Again, that’s only possible if the Democrats gain majority control of the Senate. If they don’t, Republicans will surely discount the economic benefits of #legalweed for the next few years.

Martha Stewart gets on the cbd bandwagon
One of the nation’s largest chained retailers of health supplements, The Vitamin Shoppe, is the first national retailer to carry the full line of hemp-derived CBD wellness products from lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, according to Smith Falls, Ontario-based cannabis operator Canopy Growth Corp.
Previously, the Martha Stewart brand, which was developed in collaboration with Canopy Growth Corp. and Marquee Brands, a New York-based global brand owner and marketer, was available only through online sales.
