Senator Schumer and Chairman Jeffries on Reintroducing the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and new House lead sponsor Representative Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) announce the reintroduction of the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act, legislation that would remove cannabis from the list of scheduled substances under the Controlled Substances Act, effectively implementing decriminalization at the federal level. Schumer first introduced this legislation last year.
