It’s a milestone in the history of cannabis legalization as the House of Representatives passes the MORE Act with a majority of Democrats and 5 Republicans voting in favor of the bill. Friday’s vote in the Democratic-led house comes as a silver lining for those supporting cannabis decriminalization, but for now, the bill still has to go through the Republican-led house whose majority members stand against the bill.

However, the main question is still surrounded by ambiguities. While patients using a medical marijuana card continue to register themselves under the state MMJ program, the chances are that patients will continue using a cannabis recommendation to avail of products containing more than 0.3% of THC.

Because as of now, the More Act pertains to the needs of those who faced unjust penalties due to the continuous war on drugs. So, even if the Republicans pass the bill, marijuana will be decriminalized, but not legalized on the federal level. This means that marijuana is still illegal on the federal level and here’s what you need to learn more about the bill.

The MORE Act Will Build an Equitable Cannabis Industry

Besides decriminalization, the bill serves a larger purpose. It has a major clause that will address social injustices in the future and help lift the communities that have suffered at the hands of the War on Drugs. Not only this, if the bill finally reaches the President’s office, and he signs it, it will help open more doors for equity in the cannabis industry. In other words, people of color impacted by the injustices of the war on drugs will have a say in the matter.

While these nuances of the bill will bring about a positive change for the people of color, expungement of cannabis-related crimes will come as a blessing in disguise. Overall, the MORE Act will help anyone possess and consume cannabis without the fear of getting arrested on false grounds. Especially people who use marijuana for medical purposes.

Easy Access to Cannabis Business Administration Grants

Both small and large cannabis businesses cannot apply for business loans because marijuana falls under the controlled substances category. As a result, people who invest in cannabis businesses can neither go to a bank nor can they take advantage of the benefits associated with state tax policies. On the other hand, small businessmen have to pay a hefty amount to conduct any business related to cannabis without receiving any compensation from the state or bank authorities.

If the MORE Act becomes law, small businessmen will be allowed to take out loans. They will be able to conduct digital transactions freely. Moreover, people of color in the cannabis business will be able to avail themselves of the benefits given by the state administration.

In addition to this, the bill will pave a decent way for more job opportunities. Legal job training and job developments in disproportionately affected families will bring about huge positive change. All in all, these benefits will help repair the damages caused, help states incentivize taxes and connect national banks with cannabis businesses.

Expungement of Marijuana Related Criminal Records

According to Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), co-chair of the bill, three generations of brown and black people have suffered at the hands of the federal cannabis laws. If the laws are enforced selectively. More young black and brown people will suffer immensely. This is why it is necessary to pass the bill and eradicate any chance of furthering social oppression.

For now, the bill will help expunge juvenile criminal cases since 1971. It will also reduce prison sentences for people in prison due to cannabis-related crimes. While all these issues will turn a new leaf for socially oppressed people, you have to understand that marijuana is still illegal on the federal level.

Final Thoughts

Marijuana decriminalization will still require you to visit a 420 clinic to get a cannabis recommendation from a state-licensed health physician. If you live in a state where medical and recreational cannabis is legal, you can use a state-issued ID to get cannabis. More importantly, as a cannabis consumer, you have to check your state laws before doing anything related to cannabis.

We all know Mike Tyson, right? That huge boxer, who ripped some part of the ear of another boxer (Evander Holyfield) biting him during the fight? Yeah that one, he is a little crazy, isn’t he?

Sure, but now the craziness is going through the roof as he is thinking about opening a cannabis resort.

Apparently, the previous boxing champ is going to open a 400+ acres cannabis resort.

Well claims are different in different newspapers; some say it is 300 acres some say it is 400, but we are going with the more significant number

This news is taking the marijuana industry and medical enthusiasts by storm.

And this is what we know about it till now:

He is Already Smoking a Hell Lot

“You can’t get high on your own supply”, a common phrase on the street, but bluntly ignored by Mike.

As per his own claims, Mike and his “homies“, smoke marijuana worth $40,000 each month.

No, no nothing is wrong in it, except everything, it is a lot of weed as you can see.

But what it has to do with this new cannabis resort?

The Longest Lazy River 

As we know how Mike the boxing man rolls, he wants everything big.

And the same goes to his resort, Mike, as per his plans, will make the world’s longest lazy river.

It will take approximately an hour to float through this green lazy river.

The resort will also have a festival in it, and things just went a little crazier.

Tyson also announced that a hotel would also be part of this resort. The construction of this hotel is in its early stages.

Giving Back to the Society 

The Tyson University is also in the plans as per Mike. In this institution, young farmers would learn new marijuana growing techniques.

The Boxer with a weird face tattoo reportedly will dedicate this institute into research.

He is getting pretty serious in the business after entering in the industry some three years ago in 2016.

Talking to a private media channel, Mike claimed that he wanted to help the populace in learning more about cannabis.

“It was a no brainer,” said the champion boxer.

What is in a name, right? Yeah, but still this whole 420 resort has name Tyson Ranch.

You Can Smoke But Can’t Buy

Easily one of the most notorious men in the history of the United States of America is doing something big.

Now, even this new business has two sides; cannabis lovers are portraying Mike Tyson as a saint; people who hate marijuana are seeing him darker than ever.

What and who is Mike Tyson, is up to you.

California Department of Justice recently has issued a whole new list of lenient 420 laws, to help medical marijuana patients.

West Coast since 1996 is a great sympathizer of medical and recreational marijuana. They are the first state to legalize medical marijuana in the whole United States of America.

Now, what are these laws? You would not have to read the whole governmental document, that’s why we are decoding the orders here.

What is the Market Saying?

Well, most of the dispensary owners believe that it is a good, fresh step by the governing body.

420 doctors Garden Grove, in a collective voice, believes that it will curb the black market of medical and recreational marijuana.

CEO of a famous dispensary, Glass House Group, Kyle Kazan declared that this step from the government shows that they are getting serious.

“These new guidelines show that the government is serious about ending the black-marketing of MMJ,” Kyle Kazan was of the view.

Xavier Becerra, Attorney General, was the one to announce this new 420 bible.

What Is The Pattern?

Becerra’s new directions come in five points, a summary of laws, guidelines for patients, and caregivers are the first two.

Best practices for MMJ recommendation, enforcement guidelines for local and state law agencies, and guidance for cooperatives and collectives are the rest.

The Summary

The summary talks about about the history of decriminalization of medical marijuana and proposition 215.

This section solely explains The Compassionate Use Act of 1996 how the bill hands power to patients who need medical marijuana.

Several other laws that control medical marijuana in the state are in this section too./

Guidelines for Patients and Caregivers

There are no significant changes in these instructions, permissions, or amount counts. You can still carry 8 ounces of dried cannabis.

Plant count is still standing tall at six mature ones and 12 immature ones. A qualified patient can carry more too, but only if the doctor says it is needed; i.e., the recommendation is a must.

Big Changes

There are some considerable changes in cannabis law, handing power to police personnel. Now police officials can search you even if you have under limit legal cannabis, but no card.

Other changes in the law are:

• Officer can now review your card and can demand, physician’s name, license number, phone number, and address too.
• If the officer believes that a patient is genuine and cannabis is under limits, s/he can let the person go.
• On the other hand, if the officer smells something fishy, s/he can arrest the possessor, seizing marijuana too. The under arrest person will then have to prove it in the court his/her innocence.
• Word-of-mouth recommendations will not work now if a person cannot verify it from his/her doctor.

With a catchy name, the MORE act, (The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act), if passed, will legalize marijuana in the US at the federal level.

Two Senior democrats, in both House and Senate, Jerrold Nadler and Kamala Harris are the heroes of this bill.

So, does this mean we will be able to smoke marijuana wherever we want? Is this bill the real deal? Let’s decode it out.

The Real Deal?

Ever since reading of the bill took place in the House and Senate, it is confusing marijuana-lovers about what it means for them?

Are they free to do the bong in public now or something?

Well, this is not the case, for now, the legislation may turn into a proper law if other legislators agree too.

Nonetheless, both Harris-Nadler claims that they want to change the federal level law for cannabis to protect immigrants.

It is a rare relief for the immigrants by any official from the United States of America from a long time.

What Harris Had To Say?

Harris, in a press release published on his website, declared that America should regulate marijuana and relief millions of natives who are in prisons in such cases.

“As cannabis becomes legal throughout the country, we have to make sure colored communities, who are impacted, disproportionally by our war on drugs to have real opportunity to take part in this booming industry,”, said Kamala Harris.

Harris also asserted that it would be a timely and essential step toward economic and racial justice.

“Times have changed weed shouldn’t be a crime” declared San Harris.

What Did Nadler Say?

Jerrold Nadler, U.S. Representative for New York’s 10th congressional district, accepted that it is still a long fight.

Even though legalization of marijuana like in the form of, Medical Marijuana Card Online California, people are still suffering.
