Send us a textThis week in Cannabis Legalization News, the US Cannabis Council (USCC) launched a new super PAC called Legalize America on June 28, 2023. The super PAC is the first of its kind in the cannabis industry, and it is funded by a coalition of leading cannabis companies and advocacy groups. Legalize America's goal is to end the federal prohibition of cannabis and advance reform at the state and local levels. The super PAC will focus on a number of areas, including: Public education: Legalize America will work to educate the public about the benefits of cannabis legalization and the harms of prohibition. Advocacy: Legalize America will advocate for cannabis reform at the federal, state, and local levels. Grassroots organizing: Legalize America will organize grassroots support for cannabis reform. Electioneering: Legalize America will support candidates who are committed to cannabis reform. The launch of Legalize America is a significant development in the fight for cannabis reform. The super PAC has the potential to raise a significant amount of money and to mobilize a large number of voters. If successful, Legalize America could help to end the War on Drugs and to create a more just and equitable cannabis industry. Here are some additional details about Legalize America: The super PAC is chaired by Matt Harrell, vice president of government relations for Curaleaf. The secretary of the super PAC is Pete Meachum, vice president for government relations for Cronos Group. Legalize America has a budget of $10 million. The super PAC plans to focus its efforts on the 2024 elections. Legalize America is a sign of the growing momentum for cannabis reform in the United States. With the super PAC's work, it is possible that we will see federal legalization in the near future. Check out this story and others that topped our list of the week’s biggest news.
