The SAFE Banking Act passed the U.S. house this week, but we have been here before. The bill has passed the House four times in the past, but has died every time it reached the Senate. So what's different this time?

In this episode, RJ Balde talked to Steven Hawkins, President and CEO of the newly launched United States Cannabis Council and the Executive Director of the Marijuana Policy Project, about the prospects of the Safe Banking Act under a new Presidential Administration and new leadership in the US Congress. They also talk about hopes for a federal cannabis legalization bill to be presented this year and more.
