🧵I spoke with @repblumenauer yesterday afternoon about the conference committee and chances for #SAFEBanking in COMPETES. Here are a couple things he said:
About @PattyMurray making the weed banking bill a priority: “having her — as a member of the leadership — making such an impassioned pitch, I think is significant.”
If he thinks adding social equity or crim justice provisions to SAFE is feasible: “I want this to pass. To somehow allow people to continue dying because they're trying to link something they haven't been able to do after years, I think it's really unfortunate. And it's unfair.”

Good morning! The House is voting on a slew of appropriations bills all at once (it's called a minibus).

It include protections for::
-medical marijuana markets
-rec marijuana markets (amendment, passed yesterday)
-#cannabis banking
-colleges studying weed Image
I asked banking reps about the approps protections. They said it is temporary and won't ensure banks keep their FDIC insurance, so it won't help banks as much as the #SAFEBanking Act. In today's #morningcannabis: Image
More breakdown:

The medical #cannabis market protection has been signed into law since 2014. That is likely in the bag, and is expected stay in the bill in the Senate.

The rec protections were removed by the Senate last year, and *probably* will be removed again this year.
