You're right.

Unfortunately some of the folks in Washington don't feel that way.

U.S. Representative Jared Polis of Colorado says he has introduced a marijuana bill to Congress every year since 2013 to remove it from the Controlled Substances Act and leave it to the states to legalize it.

Elizabeth Warren has been in favor of legalizing marijuana to help curb opioid overdose deaths. She is also trying to free up banking options for the marijuana industry.

For some reason, Americans believe that focusing on who is President will solely end out-dated laws/beliefs. It starts with your Congressional representatives. Americans need to put pressure on Congress, or remove them from office. Otherwise, the entire industry will suffer.
