  • Quarterly Cannabis Report
    News April 22, 2021 Quarterly Cannabis Report The 117th Congress is shaping up to be the year for cannabis reform. As of April 2021, 47 states, four U.S. territories and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis, recreational cannabis or both. Many of these efforts can be contributed to Steve Fox, a true pioneer of the legalization movement. Fox, managing partner of VS Strategies, and godfather of the industry, paved the path for nationwide legalization efforts and was instrumental in cannabis reform throughout the country for decades. He was one of the first to politically advocate on behalf of medical and recreational cannabis legalization, advance decriminalization measures and promote reform and social justice. As an educator and leader, Fox will be remembered for his wisdom, knowledge and kindness, and his voice, perspective and presence will be dearly missed. VS Strategies welcome the celebration of Fox’s life through the sharing of thoughts and memories, and asks for respect and privacy for his family, friends and co-workers who are still reeling from this loss. VS Strategies also started a GoFundMe page to support Fox’s wife and daughters as they navigate their way through this extremely difficult time— https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-family-of-steve-fox. FEDERAL CANNABIS PROPOSALS The SAFE Banking Act: On March 18, Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) reintroduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. H.R.1996 that creates a safe harbor for financial institutions to provide traditional banking services to cannabis and cannabis-related businesses in states that have legalized the drug and allows cannabis and cannabis- related businesses to access traditional banking services like lines of credit, loans and wealth management.

It followed one of the most unique and unpredict- Table legislative years in Tennessee history. Fifth-year Lieutenant Governor, Randy McNally and second-year House Speak- er Cameron Sexton were forced to make a number of difficult decisions about how they would welcome lawmakers back to Nashville in 2021 while balancing pandemic related precautions and the critical need to allow stakeholder interaction. When lawmakers reconvened on January 11th, strict COVID-19 precautions were being taken inside the Cordell Hull Legislative Office building and in the Tennessee State Capitol building. Senate hearing rooms were closed to the public and meetings with Senate members required an appointment and administrative clearance. The House began the session by allowing limited seating in committee rooms and outside the House chamber. Masks were required of guests and staff throughout the legislative session. Restrictions eased as the session progressed to a nearly normal level. The 2021 session followed 2020 elections which ushered in a total of 12 new lawmakers state wide; ten House members and two Senators. In the November elections, Senate Democrats experienced a net gain of one seat with the general election victory of former Nashville Metro Councilwoman, Heidi Campbell in Davidson County. In the House, Republicans held onto strong super majorities by maintaining 73 House seats.
