U.S. Congressmember Steve Cohen to Hold 4/20 Press Conference and Capitol Hill Briefing on Marijuana Incarceration
The Marijuana Herald - Marijuana news and information U.S. Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) is set to hold a press conference and policy briefing on Monday, April 20, focused on the lasting impact of incarcerating people for marijuana-related offenses. The morning press conference will begin at 10 a.m. at the outdoor House Triangle in Washington, D.C. Cohen will be joined by Students for Sensible Drug Policy, the Drug Policy Alliance, Law Enforcement Action Partnership and other drug policy reform organizations. Later in the day, at 12 p.m., Cohen will host a separate policy briefing in Room 2075 of the Rayburn House Office Building. That event is scheduled to feature four people who were formerly incarcerated in federal prison for nonviolent marijuana-related offenses. The discussion is expected to focus on legislative and policy changes, as well as the broader consequences marijuana criminalization can have on families and communities. The events are being held on 4/20, a date closely associated with marijuana culture and reform activism, and come as federal marijuana policy remains a major issue in Congress. Although many states have moved to legalize marijuana for medical or adult use, and despite President Trump signing an executive order in December calling on cannabis to be rescheduled, federal law continues to classify it as a Schedule I controlled substance. That conflict has left many people still dealing with criminal penalties tied to conduct that is now legal in much of the country. Monday’s events appear aimed at keeping attention on the human toll of prohibition, particularly for those who have served time for nonviolent marijuana offenses.

U.S. Senator Rand Paul Introduces Bill to Block Federal Hemp Ban, Preserve State Authority
The Marijuana Herald - Marijuana news and information U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) says he has introduced the Hemp Safety Enforcement Act, a proposal designed to stop what he calls a federal move toward banning most hemp products while keeping authority in the hands of states. In a series of social media posts published Friday, Paul said Congress’s “last-minute revival of hemp prohibition,” included in last year’s continuing appropriations act, would outlaw most hemp products and threaten a multibillion-dollar industry. He said the proposal he’s introducing is meant to protect family farms, preserve jobs and maintain access to products many consumers use to help with sleep, anxiety and pain. According to Paul, the measure would not override state hemp laws already in place. Instead, he said the Hemp Safety Enforcement Act “creates an ‘opt-out’ so states can continue regulating hemp themselves,” as long as they maintain “a minimum age for purchase” and keep in place a ban on “dangerous synthetic cannabinoids that don’t naturally occur in the hemp plant.” That distinction could become a key part of the debate. In recent years, lawmakers in multiple states have moved to tighten restrictions on intoxicating hemp-derived products, especially synthetic cannabinoids and products sold outside regulated systems. Paul’s bill appears aimed at separating those concerns from broader efforts that could ban a much wider range of hemp products. Paul also said the proposal “preserves interstate commerce for legal products” and is “fully consistent with President Trump’s executive order expanding medical marijuana and CBD research.” The Kentucky senator framed the bill as a public safety measure that would still respect state authority and adult choice. “We’ve seen prohibition fail before,” Paul said in one of the posts. “It fails miserably.” Paul said he is “looking forward to bipartisan support” for the measure.
