AI Summary

This bill requests that the United States Congress remove the term "marihuana" (an alternative spelling of "marijuana") from the federal Controlled Substances Act. The bill cites the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' decision to regulate and tax the cannabis industry, and the need for federal cooperation to effectively oversee this new industry, including enabling access to banking services and facilitating medical research on the long-term impacts of marijuana use. The bill urges the state's Senators and Representatives in Congress to take action to delete the term "marihuana" from the federal law, which would align federal policy with the state's legalization of cannabis.
