A half-in, half-out cannabis regime cannot stand. But the U.S. Supreme Court recently said it won’t consider a Colorado marijuana dispensary's dispute with the IRS over a deduction restriction for drug-related businesses. The high court rejected the challenge from Standing Akimbo LLC, which operates a state-legal medical marijuana dispensary in Denver.

Calls for criminal justice reform and states looking to close budget gaps due to COVID-19 are more likely to consider the tax benefits of creating a newly legalized industry.

When you look at a candidate, think about whether he or she supports the modernization of cannabis laws, because that will tell you an awful lot about how they view issues associated with racism, immigration, taxes, banking, and more.

We must reverse the systematic issues that lead to mass incarcerations of African Americans while eliminating police violence.
