Ron Wyden (D., Oreg.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D.","content":"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Oreg.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) are unveiling a discussion draft of their legislation to end the federal prohibition of marijuana. The senators will detail their plan at a press conference on July 14.<blockquote>参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默（纽约州民主党）、参议员罗恩·怀登（俄勒冈州民主党）。）和新泽西州民主党参议员科里·布克（Cory Booker）公布了一份结束联邦大麻禁令的立法讨论草案。参议员们将在7月14日的新闻发布会上详细介绍他们的计划。</blockquote> The proposal— known as the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act — calls for removing cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances, allowing states to make their own decisions on cannabis. Many states have already moved to legalize recreational or medicinal marijuana use, but it still remains illegal under federal law.<blockquote>该提案被称为《大麻管理和机会法案》，评级将大麻从联邦受控物质清单中删除，允许各州就大麻做出自己的决定。许多州已经采取行动将娱乐性或医用大麻使用合法化，但根据联邦法律，这仍然是非法的。</blockquote> \"By ending the failed federal prohibition of cannabis, the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act will ensure that Americans – especially Black and Brown Americans – no longer have to fear arrest or be barred from public housing or federal financial aid for higher education for using cannabis in states where it’s legal,\" reads the discussion draft. \"State-compliant cannabis businesses will finally be treated like other businesses and allowed access to essential financial services, like bank accounts and loans. Medical research will no longer be stifled.\"<blockquote>“通过结束失败的联邦大麻禁令，《大麻管理和机会法案》将确保美国人——尤其是黑人和棕色人种美国人——不再担心因使用大麻而被捕或被禁止获得公共住房或联邦高等教育财政援助。在合法的州，”讨论草案中写道。“符合国家规定的大麻企业最终将像其他企业一样受到对待，并被允许获得基本的金融服务，例如银行账户和贷款。医学研究将不再受到抑制。”</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/900717536078796fae6f2dc33035fa23\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Servers prepare drinks for guests in front of three of the 50 cash registers at a VIP Event at Planet 13, which has an over-the-top superstore dispensary in Las Vegas, is opening what's billed as the \"second-largest cannabis superstore in the world\" on June 24, 2021 in Santa Ana, CA.

It calls for federal agencies to research the impacts of cannabis use, legalization and cannabis-impaired driving — including research to establish an impairment standard for driving under the influence of cannabis.<blockquote>该提案将21岁定为购买大麻的最低年龄，并将大麻的零售额限制在不超过10盎司。评级是联邦机构研究大麻使用、合法化和大麻损害驾驶的影响，包括研究建立大麻影响下驾驶的损害标准。</blockquote> The Democratic trio has been working on the legislation for months. In an interview withYahoo Financeshortly after they announced their plan to work on the proposal, Sen. Wyden said Congress should \"finally recognize that the War on Drugs has failed.\"<blockquote>民主党三人组已经为这项立法工作了几个月。在宣布制定该提案的计划后不久，怀登参议员在接受雅虎财经采访时表示，国会应该“最终认识到禁毒战争已经失败”。</blockquote> The plan would require expungement of federal non-violent cannabis convictions and encourage state and local governments to do the same. It would keep people from being denied federal benefits — such as housing or federal financial aid — because of cannabis use or possession. People who are not U.S. citizens could not be denied benefits or protection under immigration laws.<blockquote>该计划将要求删除联邦非暴力大麻定罪，并鼓励州和地方政府也这样做。它将防止人们因为使用或持有大麻而被剥夺联邦福利，如住房或联邦财政援助。根据移民法，非美国公民不能被剥夺福利或保护。</blockquote> The plan would also create new grant programs to fund nonprofits that help people who have been \"adversely impacted by the War on Drugs.\" It would make loans available to small businesses in the cannabis industry and help states and localities implement cannabis licensing programs.<blockquote>该计划还将创建新的拨款计划，为帮助“受到毒品战争不利影响”的人们的非营利组织提供资金。它将向大麻行业的小企业提供贷款，并帮助各州和地方实施大麻许可计划。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/576fdad87970d904104ffbbba3f26400\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">People congregate on Union Square for Annual Cannabis rally to celebrate legalization of recreational marijuana in New York State.

The general tax rate would be 10% for the year it's enacted and the full year after. It would gradually rise each year to 25%. Starting in the fifth year, the Treasury Secretary would set a rate based on quantity sold or milligrams of THC. Rates would be based on prevailing price of cannabis sold in the U.S. the prior year.<blockquote>该计划将对大麻产品征收消费税，类似于政府对酒精和烟草征税的方式。颁布当年和之后一整年的一般税率为10%。它将每年逐渐上升到25%。从第五年开始，财政部长将根据四氢大麻酚的销售量或毫克数来设定税率。费率将基于上一年在美国销售的大麻的现行价格。</blockquote> Cannabis producers with less than $20 million in sales annually would be eligible for a tax credit to reduce their rate by 50%.<blockquote>年销售额低于2000万美元的大麻生产商将有资格获得税收抵免，将税率降低50%。</blockquote> \"When you can legalize something like this — where millions of millions of Americans have already voted that way — that can be a real plus for the economy. Certainly it can be a real plus for small businesses, for communities of color,\" said Wyden in an interview with Yahoo Finance in February.<blockquote>怀登表示：“当你能够将这样的事情合法化时——数百万美国人已经这样投票——这可能会给经济带来真正的好处。当然，这对小企业和有色人种社区来说也是真正的好处。”二月份接受雅虎财经采访。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9bf4362c536ae71901cef6d287fbec8\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"519\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, Sens. Booker, Wyden, and Schumer<blockquote>大麻管理和机会法案，参议员布克、怀登和舒默</blockquote> President Joe Biden backed decriminalization of marijuana on the campaign trail, but the White House has not backed legalization efforts. In December, the Housepassed the MORE Act— which would remove marijuana from the controlled substance list and create restorative justice programs. Earlier this year, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.)reintroducedthe legislation.<blockquote>乔·拜登总统在竞选中支持大麻合法化，但白宫不支持大麻合法化的努力。去年12月，众议院通过了MORE法案——该法案将大麻从受控物质清单中删除，并创建恢复性司法计划。今年早些时候，纽约州民主党众议员杰里·纳德勒重新提出了这项立法。</blockquote> The senators are asking for input on the proposal by Sept. 1, so they can consider feedback before crafting the final bill. The proposal faces a difficult vote in the evenly-divided Senate.<blockquote>参议员们要求在9月1日之前对该提案提出意见，以便他们可以在起草最终法案之前考虑反馈。该提案在平分秋色的参议院面临艰难的投票。</blockquote>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Senators unveil plan to end federal prohibition of cannabis<blockquote>参议员公布结束联邦大麻禁令的计划</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSenators unveil plan to end federal prohibition of cannabis<blockquote>参议员公布结束联邦大麻禁令的计划</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nfinance.yahoo2021-07-14 17:40\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), Sen.
