LegalizationPOLITICSState Lawmakers Across The U.S. Call For Federal Marijuana Legalization And Banking Reform In Revised Resolution
The non-partisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has voted to adopt a revised policy directive that expresses support for federal marijuana descheduling and cannabis banking reform amid the state-level legalization movement.
The measure, which builds on an existing directive that NCSL passed in 2018, was approved at the organization’s 2022 legislative summit on a voice vote on Wednesday.
Most of the discussion that preceded the vote centered on the need for federal banking reform, a state lawmaker present at the event told Marijuana Moment, but there was no debate over the legalization language. While there was no roll call, the legislator said that opposition was minimal, and he estimated that only about five to seven of the 44 states and territories present seemed to raise their voice against adoption.
NCSL did previously pass a directive calling for cannabis descheduling in 2017, but the most recent measure that was revised this year previously said simply that states should be allowed to set their own cannabis policies without federal intervention. Members of NCSL voted to expand that position to include an explicit call for federal legalization.
The directive was also revised to say that, “until cannabis is federally descheduled,” the executive branch should prioritize enforcement actions against criminal enterprises involved in “illicit” cannabis production and sale, rather than people acting in compliance with state marijuana laws.
