It’s apropos that the legislation responsible for dramatically changing the legal, medical, and cultural standing of marijuana would be numbered 420 — but, really, it couldn’t have been numbered anything else.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon introduced the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Actin the House on Jan. 9, 2019. The appropriately designated HR 420 bill aims to remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act and shift regulation to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
