Congressional Cannabis Caucus

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 129

The first-ever US Congressional caucus focused on cannabis, formed in early 2017 by senators from California and Colorado to protect state cannabis laws at the federal level, including banking reform and Section 280E tax relief.

Discussed alongside Elizabeth Warren's push for interstate banking reform from the Senate finance committee. Indra (Etienne Fontan) explains the historical significance: multiple legal states now have senators teaming together to protect cannabis commerce. At the time, Colorado had $1.6 billion in cannabis sales, and California was preparing for recreational legalization (delayed from Jan 1, 2018).
