🧵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.”

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:
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.
