Seemingly everyone joining the call for federal marijuana reforms following introduction of STATES Act

Last week’s introduction of the STATES Act (basics here) along with Prez Trump’s seeming endorsement (basics here) seems to have made it cool for all sorts of government officials to start actively advocating for federal marijuana reform.  Specifically, check out these recent posts from Marijuana Moment about what is afoot at this moment:

• Congressional Black Caucus Calls For Major Marijuana Reforms

• Bipartisan Governors Call For Federal Marijuana Reform

• Mayors From Across U.S. Call On Feds To Deschedule Marijuana

For a variety of reasons, every one of these calls for reform make it just a little bit easier to imagine federal marijuana reform happening sooner rather than later.  I still think sooner may mean a few years from now, but I can understand how advocates may now be getting even more bullish in their predictions about the prospects for reform at the federal level.
