"I don't agree with you that cannabis is not related to this," Pelosi said during a press briefing, according to The Hill. "This is a therapy that has proven successful." The provision would have allowed legal marijuana businesses to work with banking services, USA Today reported.
PELOSI: It's ridiculous. The president wants to dismiss that. In doing so, that is one of the things that the American people are so upset about, that money is going to these big firms without any conditions. Let's not even go into whether he's allowed to do it. But we don't accept that. We don't accept that. We will have our oversight in the Congress. We have a panel that we've established. And I see that he said, we shouldn't be able to appoint the staff for our own panel? I mean, really.
PELOSI: Yes, I am. I'm saying that, because when he was signing the bill, he said, just think, 20 days ago, everything was great. No, everything wasn't Let's review later what we should have done when. Let's now just stop doing the same thing, which is to deny and to delay, and, instead, to get what we need for the state, so they can meet their needs, to the hospitals, to our health care workers, who are heroes, our first responders and the rest, so that they have what they need, so, again, they don't risk their lives while trying to save other lives.
