Public support of marijuana legalization and reform has been steadily on the rise over the past decade. Nationwide, cannabis has been fully legalized in 18 states and the District of Columbia and is legal for medicinal purposes in 37 states. Yet cannabis remains highly regulated and criminalized at the federal level. What does federal reform of cannabis look like in the 117th Congress? What guidelines could a sensible policy framework contain? How can a regulated marijuana industry operate safely and how should priority issues like safe banking, decriminalization, and substance abuse be addressed?

John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Member, Senate Commerce Committee, on the role of Congress in regulating cannabis
