Saphira Galoob, executive director of the National Cannabis Roundtable, says there may be enough states to push for federal reform, citing recent election results that saw five states pass reform as a recent example of the momentum.

“Cannabis initiatives succeeded in every state in which they were on the ballot, including one of the most conservative states in the union, Mississippi,” Galoob says.

Other conservative states like South Carolina and Alabama are currently considering medical cannabis reform.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent comments show that the new Congress is aiming to build off the momentum of the passing of the MORE Act in the House last year, Galoob explained.

“The question now is what reforms can be made law and by what legislative mechanisms over the next two years,” she adds.
