Biden health nominees have history of supporting legal marijuana
Biden on Tuesday said he plans to nominate Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine as assistant secretary of HHS.
In December, the president-elect announced that California Attorney General Xavier Becerra was his nominee to serve as head of the department.
The nominees, if confirmed, could be important for the marijuana industry given that HHS would play a key role in any attempt to reschedule marijuana or remove it from the list of federally controlled substances.
