At Historic Bipartisan Subcommittee Hearing, Witnesses Emphasize Widespread Benefits of Cannabis Decriminalization
Members and witnesses concluded that the federal government should establish protocols to regulate cannabis as it does alcohol—including by removing cannabis from the list of controlled substances.
- In response to a question from Chairman Raskin about the comparison between past liquor prohibition and the marijuana prohibition, Ms. Snider stated: “Once it is more morally acceptable or more societally acceptable by consensus, people agree to legalize and regulate it. We’re starting to see that with cannabis.” She continued: “That is what I was seeing on the street as a police officer. It’s not looked at as taboo as it once was.”
