The US House is set to vote on the MORE Act this week
And South Dakota’s governor and law enforcement express their negative opinions about cannabis legalization
This is Lo with Veriheal keeping you up to date with the latest in cannabis news
The MORE Act is a bill sponsored by Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris
It would decriminalize cannabis at the federal level and leave legalization up to the states.
It would also include expungement for cannabis-related offenses, a 5% cannabis tax that would go toward helping communities impacted by the War on Drugs, expansion for Veterans Affairs, and of course opportunities for cannabis businesses.
The vote was supposed to occur back in September but was delayed due to a coronavirus aid response that took precedence.
With cannabis gaining bipartisan support in the House, the bill has a good chance of passing. But stay tuned to see if it makes it through the senate.
South Dakota is the first state to legalize BOTH medical and recreational uses of cannabis.
Obviously, the people have spoken and cannabis won with 54% of voters approving of legalization.
However, South Dakota’s own governor has come forward declaring that the citizens she represents made the wrong choice in legalizing cannabis.
The first-term governor’s statement on the matter cited “We need to be finding ways to strengthen our families, and I think we’re taking a step backward in that effort,”
And now two police officers have filed lawsuits on the idea that this new legalization is unconstitutional.
Their argument is that because these new measures add a new section to the state’s constitution, it should be considered a revision and that can only happen during a state ratifying convention.
Of course, the state’s governor is in full support and looking forward to “addressing these serious constitutional concerns”.
Green Leaf opened its doors to patients in Richmond this week and is now available to those registered in the state’s medical cannabis program.

Green Leaf’s CEO stated that there are plans to open 5 additional dispensaries in the city’s health service area and will offer delivery services.
