E145-Tipping Points: Cannabis Movement on Capitol Hill Finally…Maybe

This week, Cy and Emily dive deep into the transformative shifts in the cannabis industry. The much-anticipated SAFE Banking Act is finally approaching a Senate Committee vote, a monumental step in ensuring the industry's legitimacy. But the progress doesn't stop there! 

The Cannabis Users’ Restoration of Eligibility (CURE) Act aims to break barriers in federal employment due to marijuana use. Plus, with a majority of the US population now having access to adult-use legal cannabis, Cy and Emily ponder if we've reached the pivotal tipping point in cannabis acceptance. With parallels to the journey of gay marriage legalization, the momentum in the cannabis space is palpable.
