Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been a prolific co-sponsor of cannabis bills on Capitol Hill
in Saturday’s Nevada caucuses. But she’s vowing to fill her administration with legalization supporters, immediately begin making dramatic changes to federal drug policies and protect state-legal marijuana markets.Warren has long been supportive of legalization, but her campaign has offered few specifics on how she would accomplish that goal up until this point. However, she has been a prolific co-sponsor of cannabis bills on Capitol Hill.
Warren's new plan goes well beyond legalization. She also wants to scrap past federal cannabis convictions and find ways to give people with prior convictions an advantage if they want to work in the legal marijuana industry. In addition, she supports banking access for cannabis companies and permitting veterans to use marijuana without fear of federal punishment.The Massachusetts senator is well known for bashing big banks and fighting corruption. Her cannabis plan is no different.
One such corporation is Acreage Holdings — which employs former House Speaker John Boehner on its board. In her plan, Warren attacks Boehner for his flip-flop on cannabis, saying he "now profits handsomely as a lobbyist for legalization even as others continue to live with the consequences of a prohibition he defended."Warren's plan would not force states to legalize cannabis.
