What it does
The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act would decriminalize and deschedule cannabis by removing it from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, thereby ending federal criminal penalties for cannabis-related activities. It aims to address past harms of cannabis prohibition by providing for expungement of certain cannabis offenses, reinvestment in communities disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs, and establishing an Opportunity Trust Fund funded by taxes on cannabis products. The bill also includes provisions for research, public health regulation, workplace safety, banking access, and restorative justice measures to promote equity in the legal cannabis industry.
