4/20: Lawmakers and Activists Unite Inside the U.S. Capitol for Marijuana Reform


Proponents of marijuana reform have revealed plans to conduct a policy forum right within the walls of the prestigious U.S. Capitol Building on April 20th, notably celebrated as the unofficial cannabis holiday. This highly-anticipated event promises to be a riveting gathering where industry professionals and advocates alike can discuss and explore crucial issues relating to marijuana legalization. It will see the likes of prominent speakers including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and various other distinguished personalities.


The upcoming National Cannabis Policy Summit’s Congressional Forum is set to take place in the heart of Washington DC at the Capital Visitors Center's Congressional Auditorium and promises to be a dynamic showcase of groundbreaking ideas and fresh perspectives. With an impressive turnout of advocates, experts, lawmakers, stakeholders, and patients, attendees can look forward to engaging in thought-provoking conversations on the pressing need for federal reform with a particular emphasis on pushing for equity.


Advocates for marijuana legalization have announced plans to hold a policy-centric event inside the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. This marks a significant shift from past years where pro-legalization festivals and forums took place outside the building. As more states pass legislation in favor of legalized marijuana, pressure for federal reform is mounting. The forthcoming event is a clear indication of the growing importance of marijuana issues in the national conversation.
