Warren, Lawmakers Seek Additional Progress on Federal Marijuana Law Before End of Biden Administration

Press Release

“Rescheduling marijuana and the prior round of pardons must not be the end of this Administration’s historic work to use its executive authority to undo the damage of federal marijuana policy. As we continue to work toward legislation to end the federal criminalization of marijuana and to regulate it responsibly and equitably, we urge prompt administrative action to tackle the harms of criminalization — particularly for the benefit of communities most harmed by the War on Drugs.

“Possession and use of recreational marijuana — and much state-legal medical marijuana — will continue to be a violation of federal law…The Biden Administration has the opportunity to further reduce the harms of marijuana’s criminalization before the end of this Administration."
