United States Senators Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Ron Wyden released a long-anticipated bill that would provide for comprehensive federal cannabis reform. The Cannabis Administration & Opportunity Act, in its current form, would legalize and regulate cannabis federally, similarly to the way alcohol and tobacco are currently regulated. It is a far-reaching proposal addressing hemp, CBD, the Controlled Substances Act, federal regulation of cannabis products, social equity, restorative justice, research, taxation, and prevention of market concentration while preserving the integrity of existing state cannabis laws. The CAOA will be the foundation upon which eventual federal legalization and regulation is built. Therefore, it is critically important for those with interest in the cannabis industry to understand the key components of the Act and what the federally regulated interstate cannabis market will be in the future.
