Reps. Nadler, Titus, Omar, and Velázquez Reintroduce Comprehensive Marijuana Reform Legislation
Today, August 29th 2025, Representative Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), along with Cannabis Caucus Co-Chairs Dina Titus (NV-01) and Ilhan Omar (MN-05), and House Committee on Small Business Ranking Member Nydia Velázquez (NY-07) reintroduced the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, one of the most comprehensive marijuana reform bills ever introduced in the U.S. Congress.
In a press release on Congressman Nadler’s website quoted SSDP’s Executive Director Kat Murti in the announcement of the reintroduction of the MORE Act.
“Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) applauds the re-introduction of the MORE Act as a critical step toward dismantling the failed War on Drugs,” said Kat Murti, Executive Director, Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP). “From the very first introduction of the MORE Act, SSDP has championed this bill as the most comprehensive path toward sensible cannabis policy reform—one which would end federal prohibition, clear past convictions, and begin the process of healing the communities most harmed by federal cannabis prohibition. The House made history when it passed the MORE Act in the 116th and 117th Congresses, marking the only times a chamber of Congress voted in support of removing (“descheduling”) marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). With the House once again leading the way, the Senate must act now to finally deliver on the promise of justice and opportunity nationwide. Young people deserve a future free from the lifelong harms of prohibition, and we urge Congress to act swiftly to pass this legislation and begin repairing the injustices caused by decades of criminalization.”
