Thank you Elizabeth Warren and Cory Gardner for introducing bills to ensure workers in the legal #cannabisindustry are treated fairly under the law.

Looks like there may be some obstacles in the path of passing the #SAFEBankingAct. We have significant concerns about some of the provisions outlined by Sen. Crapo, but we're confident this is a starting point for further conversation. [1/2]

CTF will continue educating members of the Senate Banking Committee so we can get the #SAFEBankingAct passed and finally resolve this critical public safety issue. #cannabis [2/2]

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and new year! Also, a huge thank you goes out to everyone who supported our efforts throughout this historic year for cannabis policy at the federal level. With your continued support, we can make 2020 even bigger!

New study shows regulated cannabis businesses in Colorado and Washington are effectively complying with rules that prohibit sales to minors. In prohibition states, there are no rules governing cannabis sales, and sellers do not ask for ID. #regulationworks

The The Washington Post featured CTF founding board member LivWellCannabis in a story this weekend about how federal laws are preventing highly qualified U.S. companies from competing in the emerging global cannabis market washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

Congress will be holding another hearing on cannabis policy next week, this time in the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. Stay tuned for more details!

This should be quite a hearing, and it's another sign Congress is moving in the right direction on cannabis policy.

CTF joined with National Cannabis Industry Association and more than two dozen other cannabis industry groups to send a letter to Sen. Banking Chair Senator Mike Crapo, urging him to move the House-approved version of the SAFE Banking Act through his committee.

The chorus of voices urging Sen. Banking Chair Senator Mike Crapo to reconsider his proposed changes to the #SAFEBankingAct is growing. The latest: a bipartisan letter from the bill's lead House sponsors Ed Perlmutter @RepDennyHeck Archive: Steve Stivers Warren Davidson 🇺🇸

I look forward to working with Sen. Crapo to enact the SAFE Banking Act. Cannabis is now legal to varying degrees in 47 states. This bill prioritizes public safety by allowing banks to work with legitimate marijuana businesses and get cash off the streets. bankingjournal.aba.com/2020/01/house-…

More than 1,300 cannabis business owners, executives, and employees signed this letter, prepared by CTF and National Cannabis Industry Association, to U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), calling on him to pass the SAFE Banking Act. thecannabisindustry.org/wp-content/upl…

Americans across the country are rising up for justice and the end of systemic racism. CTF stands with this movement, because cannabis policy cannot be separated from social justice policy. We are committed to advocating for policies that advance social justice and equity.
