Progressive PAC Warns Trump and Republicans Could Claim Credit for Cannabis Reform

The political tug-of-war over cannabis reform is heating up as a progressive group, the Progressive Turnout Project, sounds the alarm. They’re concerned that Republicans might "steal" the legalization narrative, despite the issue traditionally being a Democratic stronghold. By launching a new "advisory board," they hope to keep the momentum behind the MORE Act—a bill aimed at federal decriminalization and social equity—firmly in Democratic hands. While the GOP currently controls the levers of power, making the bill's immediate passage a long shot, the real story is how both sides are now vying for the "pro-cannabis" title to win over voters.

For regular tokers, this political posturing is actually a massive win. When both major parties start competing to see who can be "better" for cannabis, it moves us closer to real federal change, like better banking and rescheduling. Even if it feels like standard campaign noise, the fact that cannabis is now a "must-have" political prize shows just how much our community’s voice matters.
