Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2019
This bill revises and otherwise limits the federal prohibition on marijuana.
First, it specifies that the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal penalties of the Controlled Substances Act do not apply to marijuana. The bill does, however, make it a crime to knowingly ship or transport marijuana into a state where its receipt, possession, or sale is prohibited. A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to one year, or both.
Next, it removes marijuana and tetrahydrocannabinols from the list of scheduled substances under the Controlled Substances Act.
Finally, it eliminates criminal penalties for an individual who imports, exports, manufactures, distributes, or possesses with intent to distribute marijuana.
