The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019 was introduced to the House of Representatives by Jerry Nadler and the Senate by Kamala Harris. Start Yourself UP right was the beginning of our investigation into the MORE Act. Ben and Lillian discuss the concerns and excitement they have with the act. People who have wrongfully been affected by the war on drugs have a harder time getting into the cannabis industry due to a lack of funds and or criminal offenses. The MORE Act has a social equity plan to pardon some cannabis offenses and promote small minority business owners. We hit on topics such as why cannabis should not be classified as a schedule 1 drug, the best strains to boost concentration while reading an intensive document like the MORE Act, where the money is going with the opportunities trust fund, and how the president should be able to smoke a joint; it is a stressful job!
