National Changes for Cannabis, with Former Mayor Willie Brown
Willie Brown is the former Mayor of San Francisco and one of the
leading Democratic figures for more than a generation. He is also
the former president of Harborside, the first and largest marijuana
dispensary in California. Now, fifteen states have legal adult use
of marijuana and thirty-two states have the use of medical
marijuana. Still, it is prohibited on the federal level as a
Schedule One drug. Mr. Brown offers a perspective on what the MORE
Act and the Safe Banking Act. These are key pieces of legislature
that will help the industry manage commerce and it will allow
consumer spending with credit cards. Catch the signposts to the
future from a voice of experience. Change is certain.

The MORE Act vote by the House of Representatives to Decriminalize
Pot
Morgan Fox joins us from the National Cannabis Industry
Association. The House of Representative recently passed the MORE
Act (or the, Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment & Expungement
Act). This is to decriminalize on the federal level and to
de-schedule cannabis, provide for reinvestment in certain persons
adversely impacted by the War on Drugs, provide for expungement of
certain cannabis offenses, and for other purposes.

The UN Accepts WHO Recommendation to Remove Cannabis from High
Danger Listing
Alfredo Pascual is the International Analyst at Marijuana Business
Daily, specializing in European and Latin American cannabis
markets. The United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs decided to
accept one of the World Health Organization recommendations to
remove cannabis from Schedule 4 of the 1961 Single Convention on
Narcotic Drugs. This means that marijuana is no longer considered
to be as dangerous as other substances in Schedule 4 of
international drug control because it does have some medical
utility.

What could the MORE Act means to Racial Minorities Who Have Higher
Rates of COVID?
Pamela Moore is VP of Publishing for Marijuana Business Daily. She
talks to us about how passage of the MORE Act can influence social
justice. Many people of color fill essential job such as refuge
removal and feats of physical labor and they cannot remain at home
during lockdown. This puts them on the front line while many are
huddled together in shared housing conditions. Vaccine relief and
effective legislation many ameliorate the plight of many of
effected Americans in this trying and transitional time.
