A congressional committee next week will vote on a bill to protect people from being denied federal employment or security clearances due to marijuana use—and to provide relief for people who lost opportunities due to cannabis in the past.

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee will hold a markup on the legislation, the Cannabis Users’ Restoration of Eligibility (CURE) Act, on Wednesday, Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced late Friday.

 House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced a markup for Wednesday, September 20 at 10:00am ET

• H.R. 5040, the Cannabis Users Restoration of Eligibility (CURE) Act: The bill prevents prior marijuana use from becoming grounds for failing to receive security clearance or for being found unsuitable for federal employment. The CURE Act will also allow for someone who has previously been denied a security clearance or a federal job opportunity based on marijuana use the chance to have that denial reviewed.

One thing we all know, government is a complete joke.  I still feel taking Medical
