Senate debt deal throws wrench in Jeff Sessions plans once again

Senate debt deal throws wrench in Jeff Sessions plans once again

In order to provide disaster relief to areas of Texas(and Florida soon), the Trump administration as well as both houses of Congress had to pass a budget bill.

The legislation will not only help people that have had their lives destroyed by horrific hurricanes but will also help the cannabis industry.

According to MarijuanaPolitics.com, the Senate’s version of the legislation includes a temporary extension of protections for the legal marijuana industry. The legislation extended a budget provision known as the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment through December 8th.

A Small Win For The Newly Minted Cannabis Caucus

In late August representatives Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican from California; Earl Blumenauer, a Democrat from Oregon; Don Young, a Republican from Alaska; and Jared Polis, a Democrat from Colorado launched the first of its kind caucus at a press conference in Washington DC.

Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), the two founding members of the caucus, both have respectable achievements even before they started the caucus. Congressman Rohrabacher coauthored the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, which was passed by the 113th Congress in 2014.
