Does the US release cannabis at the federal level?
The US Congress could vote on the nationwide approval as early as December.

A top politician in the US House of Representatives announced this week that they would vote on a bill to end federal cannabis prohibition in December.
House majority leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) announced earlier this summer that the chamber would vote on the marijuana opportunity, reinvestment and destruction act (MORE) in September. The plan had been delayed as some Democrats were concerned about passing cannabis reform ahead of a coronavirus relief package.
Hoyer said Monday that marijuana legalization was on the table before the presidential transition and would come to the vote in December. The House will “vote on the MORE Act to decriminalize cannabis and remove convictions for cannabis nonviolent crimes that have prevented many Americans from getting jobs, applying for credit and loans, and taking advantage of opportunities that make it possible in our economy to move forward, "wrote Hoyer in a letter to members of the House.
The MORE Act is sponsored by Justice Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). It would phase out cannabis at the federal level, erase the records of people with previous marijuana convictions, and impose a five percent federal tax on sales whose revenues would be reinvested in the communities hardest hit by the drug war. Justin Strekal, NORML's Political Director, told Marijuana Moment the organization looks forward to "working with the leadership of the House of Representatives to ensure the success of the first-ever vote to end marijuana in a Chamber of Congress".
