AMZN Backs States Reform Act
Amazon has endorsed a Republican-backed bill in Congress on Tuesday
Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) States Reform Act would remove cannabis as a federal Schedule I substance and introduce a new 3% federal tax on the substance. Revenue from the tax would be routed help fund law enforcement and veterans’ health programs — and cannabis would remain illegal nationwide for anyone under 21 except for medical marijuana patients. In a tweet on Tuesday, Amazon’s public policy arm said it was “pleased to endorse” Mace’s proposal. “Like so many in this country, we believe it’s time to reform the nation’s cannabis policy and Amazon is committed to helping lead the effort,” the company said.
