Nancy Mace's push to legalize cannabis gets support from Amazon: Time to end the 'federal war on a plant'
Fox News
Rep. Nancy Mace, a GOP freshman lawmaker from a swing South Carolina coastal district, is making a Republican case to legalize marijuana on the federal level, and Amazon just offered a major endorsement of her plan.
Amazon in June 2021 started excluding marijuana from pre-employment drug screening programs for non-transportation positions. The company said the marijuana testing "has disproportionately affected communities of color by stalling job placement and, by extension, economic growth, and we believe this inequitable treatment is unacceptable."
Mace's bill is the only GOP-backed pot proposal Amazon has gotten behind. Mace said Amazon's interest comes down to expanding the potential workforce.
