In a recent fireside chat hosted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic">Pablo Zuanic</a>, senior equity analyst, former U.S. Rep&nbsp;Ed Perlmutter shared his insights on the evolving cannabis landscape. 
With Congress grappling with cannabis rescheduling and banking reforms, Perlmutter&#39;s insider knowledge offers a crucial perspective for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis investors</a>.
&quot;When I first introduced this in 2013-2014, I had to deal with the chuckle factor,&quot; said&nbsp;Perlmutter, often hailed as the founding father&nbsp;of the SAFE Banking Bill.
The recent passage of a modified version, SAFER, in the Senate Banking Committee marks progress, yet the path forward remains uncertain. &quot;We&#39;re in campaign season now,&quot; Perlmutter warned, underscoring the time constraints.
<h3>Rescheduling And Political Landscape</h3>
During the chat, Perlmutter delved into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39912859/as-election-buzz-swirls-around-biden-and-harris-dea-comment-period-ends-whats-next-">intricate process of cannabis rescheduling</a> initiated by President Joe Biden. The administrative procedure, bound by the Administrative Procedures Act, involves specific steps and timelines for public comment and hearings.
Perlmutter expressed optimism about Vice President Kamala Harris potentially taking the helm. Her prior sponsorship of the SAFE Banking Bill signals a strong understanding and support for cannabis reforms.
However, the upcoming elections introduce uncertainty. Perlmutter outlined a scenario where the current administration&#39;s initiatives might face challenges depending on the election outcomes.
He also highlighted the role of key players in Congress, such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer&nbsp;whose&nbsp;efforts to integrate cannabis reforms into broader legislative packages, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) or a financial services bill&nbsp;could be pivotal. &quot;If he just brought it to the floor, it would pass,&quot; Perlmutter said, reflecting on the strategic legislative maneuvers necessary to secure passage.
Perlmutter discussed the potential impact of a GOP victory, suggesting it could stall or reverse progress on cannabis reforms. He noted that if Republicans take the White House, there could be a shift in priorities away from cannabis legislation.

<h3>The Road Ahead</h3>
Perlmutter remains optimistic about cannabis banking reform, possibly
through a larger financial services bill incorporating cryptocurrency regulations. &quot;There is a lot of discussion...where [banking reform]&nbsp;would be added to a financial services piece of legislation,&quot; he said.
Although cannabis rescheduling is in motion under the Administrative Procedures Act, the primary focus for Democrats would be winning the elections. He indicated that VP&nbsp;Harris and her potential running mate would prioritize election efforts, pointing out&nbsp;that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39920347/dallas-cannabis-reform-ballot-is-a-go-decriminalization-in-november-elections-would-allow-up-to-"> cannabis policy</a> is a crucial issue for many voters, enhancing its role in any forthcoming campaign strategy.
The methodical approach taken by the Biden administration ponders the question of whether rescheduling can happen in time or not. Perlmutter acknowledged the complexity of the situation.&nbsp;&quot;From the White House&#39;s point of view and the HHS, they&#39;ve done what they could do.&quot; He explained that the next phases are dictated by the Administrative Procedures Act, which requires specific timeframes for comments and hearings.
<h3>What If?</h3>
Perlmutter suggested a nuanced approach to cannabis policy even under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39964922/ron-desantis-says-florida-supreme-court-should-not-have-allowed-cannabis-legalization-initiative">conservative leadership</a>. Discussing the hypothetical scenario of a Trump presidency, Perlmutter pointed out that despite Jeff Sessions rescinding the Cole Memo, the FinCEN guidance remained intact. &quot;The president could have said to Secretary Mnuchin, let&#39;s get rid of the FinCEN guidance. And he didn&#39;t.&quot;&nbsp;
Regarding the future, Perlmutter expressed cautious optimism.&nbsp;&quot;The clock is ticking, no question about it. But at least it&#39;s ticking.&quot; He highlighted that despite the lengthy process, the momentum towards rescheduling is significant and unprecedented in over five decades.

Interview

'The Clock Is Ticking' For Cannabis Rescheduling, Says Former Congressman Ed Perlmutter

Vice President Kamala Harris is making headlines as she prepares to become the Democratic nominee for president in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 election</a> after President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39874209/joe-biden-drops-out-what-would-happen-with-cannabis-legalization-under-kamala-harris-or-donald-t">opted not to seek reelection.</a>
If Harris secures the Democratic nomination and wins the presidency, she would make history as the first major party presidential nominee to fully support marijuana legalization.

Harris even admitted to having smoked marijuana in college. In a 2019 interview on the popular morning radio show, The Breakfast Club, Harris candidly discussed her personal experience with cannabis.
When asked by host Charlamagne tha God if she had ever smoked marijuana, Harris responded with a laugh: &#8220;I have. And I inhaled. I did inhale,&#8221; she said, taking a lighthearted jab at former President Bill Clinton's claim that he smoked but didn't inhale. 
&#8220;It was a long time ago but yes,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I just broke news.&#8221;
In that prominent interview, Harris also disputed reports that she doesn&#8217;t support legalizing marijuana: &#8220;That&#8217;s not true. I think that it gives a lot of people joy and we need more joy.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strong Supporter Of Marijuana Legalization</h3>
Harris has consistently advocated for cannabis legalization throughout her political career, with her stance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39890659/kamala-harris-u-turn-on-cannabis-heres-where-she-stands-on-weed-legalization-now">evolving significantly over time.</a> Initially, as the District Attorney of San Francisco, she opposed California&#8217;s Proposition 19 in 2010, which sought to legalize marijuana.
However, her position began to shift during her tenure as a U.S. Senator and Vice President.
Key moments of her advocacy include:
<ul>
<li>2015: Harris called for an end to the federal ban on medical marijuana during the Democratic State Convention.</li>
<li>2018: She co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act, aimed at legalizing marijuana at the federal level and addressing racial disparities in cannabis-related arrests.</li>
<li>2019: During an interview, she publicly supported cannabis legalization and shared her own experiences with marijuana.</li>
<li>2020: Harris's presidential campaign emphasized her commitment to cannabis reform, including the expungement of nonviolent marijuana-related offenses.</li>
<li>2024: As recently as March, she reiterated her call for legalization during discussions with marijuana pardon recipients, framing it as a critical issue of criminal justice reform.</li>
</ul>
In addition to her public support for the Marijuana Justice Act, Harris has advocated for broader marijuana reform in her book, &#8220;The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.&#8221; She has called for the legalization of marijuana and the expungement of past marijuana-related offenses from individuals' records.

Kamala Harris Admits 'I Inhaled' Marijuana And Now Pushes For Legalization: What This Means For 2024 Elections

IAC chairman Barry Diller&nbsp;on Friday praised Vice President Kamala Harris while recounting what happened after President Joe Biden last week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">decided to exit</a> the 2024 presidential race.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC, Diller said he was impressed by Harris&#8217;s quick mobilization of her team following Biden&#8217;s decision not to run for re-election.
&#8220;Within&nbsp;a millisecond of Biden telling&nbsp;her I&#8217;m not going, she&nbsp;mobilized her forces and within&nbsp;12 hours, she shut everyone&nbsp;else down,&#8221; he said.

The media mogul said he initially hoped for an open convention, where multiple candidates, including Harris, would compete, creating a vibrant democratic process. 
However, he recognized Harris&#8217;s confidence and organizational skills in securing endorsements and eliminating competition.
&#8220;It was her. She organized the endorsements leading with the Clintons and everybody else,&#8221; Diller added.

Why It Matters: A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39996908/trump-vs-harris-new-poll-shows-ex-president-leading-democratic-candidate-by-a-narrow-margin-but-vice">poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal</a>, results of which were made public on Friday, showed former President Donald Trump leading Harris by a narrow margin. Moreover, Harris&#8217;s favorability among registered voters was on the rise.
Another report from the same day highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39973800/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-gains-ground-lost-by-joe-biden-in-swing-states">Harris&#8217;s growing support in swing states</a> compared to where the President stood earlier this month.
Meanwhile, there&#8217;s also speculation about whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979544/can-trump-replace-jd-vance-amid-kamala-harris-picking-pace-experts-warn-that-could-be-extraordinaril">Trump might replace his</a> vice presidential candidate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), due to his underwhelming polling. This is in the wake of Harris gaining momentum.
