Legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would end federal cannabis prohibition has picked up three new cosponsors, raising the total number to 47.

The latest lawmakers to add their support are Representatives Bill Foster (D-IL), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). Their decision to join comes less than a week after the measure was reintroduced by Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), with the backing of Congressional Cannabis Caucus Co-Chairs Dina Titus (D-NV) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

If enacted, the MORE Act would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, effectively ending federal prohibition. The bill calls for expunging prior marijuana convictions, allowing resentencing for individuals currently incarcerated, and giving states the power to determine their own marijuana policies.

The measure also lays out a federal marijuana sales tax, with revenue earmarked for reinvestment in communities disproportionately affected by decades of prohibition. Funding would support workforce development, youth programs, and re-entry services. Additionally, the bill would expand access to Small Business Administration resources for marijuana businesses, and ensure that people with past marijuana convictions are not excluded from housing or other federal benefits.

The House has twice approved the MORE Act in previous sessions of Congress, but the Senate has yet to advance the proposal. While the bill is considered the most sweeping marijuana reform effort before Congress, no Republicans have signed on as cosponsors.

Its reintroduction comes as President Trump weighs a decision on federal rescheduling, which could shift marijuana from its current Schedule I status to Schedule III.
