Legislators passed a raft of bills dealing with the cannabis industry during the 2021 session.

Marc Snyder (D-Dist. 18). âIf you look at the history of Prohibition and alcohol, it got to around this point where roughly 20 states or more were just not enforcing the federal prohibition any more, and thatâs when Amendment 21 repealed Prohibition.â
