Cannabis News March 2023 | Alcohol Industry Calls for Legalization? "Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) believes the time has come for Congress to comprehensively legalize and regulate adult-use cannabis at the federal level.

This has given rise to an untenable conflict between state and federal law.
