chap chap chap chap !!!! A Republican-led bill has come out as an alternative to Democrats’ efforts to legalize and tax marijuana in the United States.
Marijuana Moment revealed last week a draft bill, called States Reform Act, led by Republican Nancy Mace (Rep.-SC), which would federally reschedule marijuana and create a regulatory scheme.
The draft legislation would federally reschedule marijuana from the list of controlled substances, and it would impose a 3.75% excise tax on cannabis sales.
As marijuana would be treated similarly to alcohol, the Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) would be the chief regulator for this market.
