American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH) Applauds President Joe Biden’s Historic Mention of Cannabis in Tonight’s State of the Union Address 

(Washington, DC) – In response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, the American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH) issued the following statement in response to the President’s remarks around federal cannabis rescheduling:

“Tonight’s remarks by President Joe Biden acknowledging that nobody should go to jail for using or possessing marijuana and recognizing a Cabinet review of the federal classification of marijuana – in his State of the Union address – signals that the time for cannabis reform has finally arrived. Reclassifying cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III will be one of the most historic cannabis reforms in US history. We applaud President Biden’s remarks and his administration’s support to reverse decades of failed drug policies which have devastated countless lives. 

“Reclassification is in step with today’s science and medical research, public opinion, and goal to get America out of outdated drug laws that have for over decades, hurt marginalized communities.”

– ATACH President Michael Bronstein
