The Senate Banking Committee has officially scheduled a vote on a marijuana banking bill for September 27.
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) tweeted about the federal marijuana rescheduling recommendation, saying, “It’s about damn time! Despite similar usage rates, Black folks are STILL nearly 4x’s more likely to get arrested for marijuana possession. This move is long overdue & is a much needed step towards righting the wrongs of our racist criminal legal system.”
