2022: Year of the Legal Marijuana “Green Rush”

For the first time in our nation’s history, pot legalization on the federal level has been introduced at the US Senate. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) filed the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, or “CAOA”, on July 21st of this year.

But here’s what most people aren’t seeing:

I believe that CAOA was never actually meant to pass.

If you’re unfamiliar with how US Congress works, that might seem bizarre…

But as someone who worked as a Capitol Hill press secretary for years—I’ve been there watching, right inside the inner workings of congress…

And I know exactly how the US legislative sausage is made.

See, I think CAOA was actually intended as an “icebreaker” bill—an aggressive, sweeping bill that’s focused on one main issue—in this case, legalizing weed.

Narrow focused legislation on controversial issues like this usually never get passed.

Senator Schumer knows this too…

But he also knows “icebreaker” bills like the CAOA are perfect for ferreting out opposition, gaining buy-in, and securing bipartisan support.

Which is why I’m convinced the CAOA was actually designed as a congressional building block—to pave the way for a new weed bill both parties could get behind.

Right now, Senator Schumer and company are working tirelessly on new bipartisan marijuana reform that many expect to pass THIS year.

“Midterm elections [in November] through January are the windows we have a chance to get something done.” — Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ)

“There’s a greater sense of urgency [now]. I think there’s a broader base of support.” — Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)

And if my sources in congress are right, which I have no doubt they are…

What’s now coming down the pike is a marijuana “omnibus” legalization bill.

“…The ‘Cannabis Omnibus’ is currently being negotiated by members of both parties.” — Forbes

“A Bipartisan Omnibus Bill Is Gaining Steam in Congress.” — MG Magazine

Also referred to as “Big Uglies”, omnibus bills fuse together separate bills to get multiple items passed at once—often before a deadline…

Like this session of congress which ends shortly.

Because they can roll DOZENS of issues into a single piece of legislation…

Omnibus bills are notoriously effective at passing controversial laws by lumping them in with issues that already have majority support.

For example, in late 2020 while COVID was still ripping through America, ransacking small businesses, and decimating the workforce…

President Trump signed an omnibus bill called the Consolidated Appropriations Act—which combined relief measures like $166 billion in stimulus checks to taxpayers together with other government spending…

Like $2.3 billion for a US Navy nuclear attack submarine.

Another recent example:

Last year, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act—a $1.2 trillion omnibus bill expected to create thousands of jobs and boost the economy.

This omnibus bill authorized $550 billion to be invested in roads, bridges, airports and more. Oh and some new laws for taxing cryptocurrency.

And now, we’re seeing signs of the same thing happening with marijauna!

In the last year alone, there were not one…

But TWO major marijuana reform bills have already passed in the House of Representatives, and now await votes from the Senate.

The MORE Act moves to end prohibition by descheduling cannabis as a controlled substance…

And the SAFE Banking Act gives legal marijuana businesses access to the same loans, checking accounts, and other financial services that most businesses enjoy.

SAFE Banking also kicks open the door for big banks to start profiting from the $32 billion legal pot industry…

Which is just one reason why this bill already has more than 40 cosponsors in the Senate and almost universal support.

Lobbying heavyweight, The American Bankers Association—representing the $17 trillion U.S. banking industry—is keen to see the cannabis banking bill become law…

Wells Fargo, HSBC, Key Bank, M&T Corporation, PayPal, Prudential, and Nationwide are just a few of the huge institutions greedily licking their chops from the sidelines.

I share this to make one point, and one point only:

There’s an unprecedented amount of money, business, and social interests now on the table that support legalizing weed.

Like I mentioned—I worked in congress for years, and I’ve been there front-row-center, witnessing dozens of these situations play out…

Between the information being presented to the public… PLUS the discussions I’m being informed of that are going down behind-closed-doors…

It’s now become very clear to me that the Senate could be rolling up one massive joint of an omnibus pot bill…

One which includes the widely supported marijuana banking and taxation laws that finally allow the government and big banking to sink their teeth into this industry…

As well as FULL marijuana legalization.

But here’s the real kicker:

The President of the United States himself just took his first major steps toward decriminalizing marijuana.

On October 6th, he pardoned all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, a move that will clear convictions for several thousand Americans.

“Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. It’s time that we right these wrongs.” — President Biden

The President also tasked the Department of Health and Human Services to “expeditiously” review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

He made it clear that even if marijuana is descheduled, certain rules to protect the public should remain in place—much like with alcohol and tobacco.

“Even as federal and local regulations of marijuana change, important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and under-age sales should stay in place.” — President Biden

Just days ahead of elections, the President’s actions send an important message to congress about where he stands on weed.

It’s also a telling clue that the highest elected office has recognized the importance of this issue to voters…

It’s clear that legalizing marijuana has now become a path to the one thing politicians care about most:

Getting elected.

With more than two in three American voters in favor of legalizing…

“Support for Legal Marijuana Holds at Record High of 68%” — Gallup

And hundreds of billions in potential legal marijuana tax revenues…

“U.S. Federal Cannabis Legalization Could Be Worth $128.8 Billion in Taxes and 1.6 Million Jobs” — Business Wire

Never before has there been such huge incentive for lawmakers on both sides to pull the trigger.

Are you starting to see why I’m so certain that we’re at a tipping point?

Look… even if congress were to stop short of full legalization…

Just marijuana banking reform alone could blow the lid off this throttled industry… and send American pot businesses to the moon with profitability.

With midterms just days away… the Democrats expect to lose house and senate control this election…

Which has stepped up their urgency to get this done NOW.

Not only do I expect to see a landmark marijuana omnibus bill introduced in the next few days…

But with the President’s recent actions… on top of overwhelming support for legalization and banking reform…

And just 2 months left for congress to make it law…

I believe this all-or-nothing omnibus bill has what it takes to get a quick “YES” vote at the Senate…

By combining these already House approved laws.

If and when that does happen, weed stocks are virtually guaranteed to explode—BEFORE an omnibus bill is even finalized.

But when the President does give this bill his John Hancock—as it appears he almost certainly will…

The United States Government will have officially unleashed a once-in-a-lifetime investing opportunity…

A legal marijuana “Green Rush” more profitable than any era most Americans have ever seen.

Those who get in BEFORE official news breaks and the feeding frenzy begins could make a quick fortune…

That’s why I’m bringing this information to you now.

With midterm elections fast approaching…

There’s only a few days left.

So stay tuned to these briefings, and above ALL else…
