Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act or the MORE Act
This bill decriminalizes marijuana.
Specifically, it removes marijuana from the list of scheduled substances under the Controlled Substances Act and eliminates criminal penalties for an individual who manufactures, distributes, or possesses marijuana.
The bill also makes other changes, including the following:
To decriminalize and deschedule cannabis, to provide for reinvestment 
 in certain persons adversely impacted by the War on Drugs, to provide 
 for expungement of certain cannabis offenses, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment 
and Expungement Act'' or the ``MORE Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The communities that have been most harmed by cannabis 
        prohibition are benefiting the least from the legal marijuana 
        marketplace.
            (2) A legacy of racial and ethnic injustices, compounded by 
        the disproportionate collateral consequences of 80 years of 
        cannabis prohibition enforcement, now limits participation in 
        the industry.
            (3) 37 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, 
        and the U.S. Virgin Islands have adopted laws allowing legal 
        access to cannabis, and 15 States, the District of Columbia, 
        the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam have 
        adopted laws legalizing cannabis for adult recreational use.
            (4) A total of 47 States have reformed their laws 
        pertaining to cannabis despite the Schedule I status of 
        marijuana and its Federal criminalization.
            (5) Legal cannabis sales totaled $20,000,000,000 in 2020 
        and are projected to reach $40,500,000,000 by 2025.
            (6) According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), 
        enforcing cannabis prohibition laws costs taxpayers 
        approximately $3.6 billion a year.
            (7) The continued enforcement of cannabis prohibition laws 
        results in over 600,000 arrests annually, disproportionately 
        impacting people of color who are almost 4 times more likely to 
        be arrested for cannabis possession than their White 
        counterparts, despite equal rates of use across populations.
            (8) People of color have been historically targeted by 
        discriminatory sentencing practices resulting in Black men 
        receiving drug sentences that are 13.1 percent longer than 
        sentences imposed for White men and Latinos being nearly 6.5 
        times more likely to receive a Federal sentence for cannabis 
        possession than non-Hispanic Whites.
            (9) In 2013, simple cannabis possession was the fourth most 
        common cause of deportation for any offense and the most common 
        cause of deportation for drug law violations.
            (10) Fewer than one-fifth of cannabis business owners 
        identify as minorities and only approximately 4 percent are 
        black.
            (11) Applicants for cannabis licenses are limited by 
        numerous laws, regulations, and exorbitant permit applications, 
        licensing fees, and costs in these States, which can require 
        more than $700,000.
            (12) Historically disproportionate arrest and conviction 
        rates make it particularly difficult for people of color to 
        enter the legal cannabis marketplace, as most States bar these 
        individuals from participating.
            (13) Federal law severely limits access to loans and 
        capital for cannabis businesses, disproportionately impacting 
        minority small business owners.
            (14) Some States and municipalities have taken proactive 
        steps to mitigate inequalities in the legal cannabis 
        marketplace and ensure equal participation in the industry.
