When Republicans brought up the lack of regulations on edibles or vaping products in the bill during a House Rules Committee hearing this week, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said regulating a new industry was not the point.

“This bill deals with decriminalizing, at a federal level, for possession and distribution — those simple points,” said Jackson Lee. “Let me be clear that we wanted to bring justice to thousands who have been incarcerated and [who] have been shut out from basic dignity of housing, scholarships and others. And I think we've answered it in this bill.”

That is a very important part to the bill and hopefully the senate passes it. Exciting times.
