Major boost to cannabis stocks. Currently most of the listed Co dealing with cannabis or cannabis related products are from Canada. Expect more US companies to get listed in year 2022.

It would keep people from being denied federal benefits — such as housing or federal financial aid — because of cannabis use or possession. People who are not U.S. citizens could not be denied benefits or protection under immigration laws.\nThe plan would also create new grant programs to fund nonprofits that help people who have been \"adversely impacted by the War on Drugs.\" It would make loans available to small businesses in the cannabis industry and help states and localities implement cannabis licensing programs.\nPeople congregate on Union Square for Annual Cannabis rally to celebrate legalization of recreational marijuana in New York State.

The general tax rate would be 10% for the year it's enacted and the full year after. It would gradually rise each year to 25%. Starting in the fifth year, the Treasury Secretary would set a rate based on quantity sold or milligrams of THC. Rates would be based on prevailing price of cannabis sold in the U.S. the prior year.\nCannabis producers with less than $20 million in sales annually would be eligible for a tax credit to reduce their rate by 50%.\n\"When you can legalize something like this — where millions of millions of Americans have already voted that way — that can be a real plus for the economy.

The senators will detail their plan at a press conference on July 14.\nThe proposal— known as the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act — calls for removing cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances, allowing states to make their own decisions on cannabis. Many states have already moved to legalize recreational or medicinal marijuana use, but it still remains illegal under federal law.\n\"By ending the failed federal prohibition of cannabis, the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act will ensure that Americans – especially Black and Brown Americans – no longer have to fear arrest or be barred from public housing or federal financial aid for higher education for using cannabis in states where it’s legal,\" reads the discussion draft. \"State-compliant cannabis businesses will finally be treated like other businesses and allowed access to essential financial services, like bank accounts and loans.

It calls for federal agencies to research the impacts of cannabis use, legalization and cannabis-impaired driving — including research to establish an impairment standard for driving under the influence of cannabis.\nThe Democratic trio has been working on the legislation for months. In an interview withYahoo Financeshortly after they announced their plan to work on the proposal, Sen. Wyden said Congress should \"finally recognize that the War on Drugs has failed.\"\nThe plan would require expungement of federal non-violent cannabis convictions and encourage state and local governments to do the same. It would keep people from being denied federal benefits — such as housing or federal financial aid — because of cannabis use or possession. People who are not U.S. citizens could not be denied benefits or protection under immigration laws.\nThe plan would also create new grant programs to fund nonprofits that help people who have been \"adversely impacted by the War on Drugs.\" It would make loans available to small businesses in the cannabis industry and help states and localities implement cannabis licensing programs.\nPeople congregate on Union Square for Annual Cannabis rally to celebrate legalization of recreational marijuana in New York State.

The general tax rate would be 10% for the year it's enacted and the full year after. It would gradually rise each year to 25%. Starting in the fifth year, the Treasury Secretary would set a rate based on quantity sold or milligrams of THC. Rates would be based on prevailing price of cannabis sold in the U.S. the prior year.\nCannabis producers with less than $20 million in sales annually would be eligible for a tax credit to reduce their rate by 50%.\n\"When you can legalize something like this — where millions of millions of Americans have already voted that way — that can be a real plus for the economy.
