Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, or MORE Act, is a legislative proposal aimed at addressing the criminal justice impact of marijuana prohibition. It seeks to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level, remove existing federal cannabis offenses, and facilitate the expungement of past convictions. The Act also establishes a fund to support communities affected by previous drug enforcement policies, promoting economic development, job training, and social equity. Overall, the MORE Act aims to reshape marijuana laws to be more just and equitable, reflecting changing public attitudes and reducing the long-term consequences for individuals with cannabis-related convictions.
