The House voted Friday for the first time to federally decriminalize and levy a tax on marijuana sales, following through on pledges by Democratic lawmakers to find new approaches to regulating drugs and rectify a policy that has disproportionately harmed communities of color.., have legalized recreational use and sales of marijuana since 2012, with many more legalizing it for medicinal purposes.

A marijuana decriminalization bill introduced in Congress on Tuesday, July 23, would tax pot at the federal level, eliminate criminal penalties and allow people with federal pot convictions to seek expungement.Descheduling marijuana would remove it from the list of drugs regulated under the federal Controlled Substances Act.
Rich get Richer and no Stimulus for the American People So why vote on Jan 5 what difference does it make when neither Dems or Reps care about the People
Will NEVER pass the Senate 👍🏼👍🏼
LA Times | In a first, House votes to federally decriminalize marijuana
Not right, a sign of moral decline in america.
Mixed feelings on this. Cannbis has been easily accessible since forever, at least here in California. Federal decriminalization will set the stage for full corporate takeover. Higher prices, higher taxes, driving out tons of long time decent producers from their livelihood.
cannabis not marijuana. You don’t use booze, smack and speed in headlines
Those ‘moderate’ cowards better get their shit together. I’m coming for you, personally.
Hopefully now the price of the Cannabis plant will become cheaper than GOLD!
Neat. Now get Dems into the Senate and this can go somewhere. 👏🏾
ATTENTION GOP I WILL DO ANYTHING TO PASS THIS IN SENATE, Wide-Stancers I'm talking to you. Lets Pass this.
Not surprised
Good thought but DOA in the senate
It’s just a weed with practical and medicinal properties
I have no issue with legalizing marijuana but was that the priority ? What about economic stimulus and aid to help survive the pandemic? Talking about being doped and duped...
McConnell will kill it. All he cares about is confirming unqualified right wing justices to fuck the courts for the next generation and preventing anything else from being accomplished. Oh and protecting his big pharma payoffs
Oh, now I understand.. 'levy a tax on Marijuana sales'...
Support small business owners! Support hard working Americans! Don't throw our entrepreneurs in jail
NO Covid relief, but yea...let's pass a pot bill.
julianseverance 👏
The adults in the Senate should tear it up, like Pelosi did to the President
We still need safety laws surrounding its use and srands that are bad or good
Good. Tax it government. Regulate it. You can make bank off it like you did with tobacco. This isn't an area to pick a war over—however, the democrats cheating in the election is a war to pick.
Though the measure is not expected to pass the Senate, marijuana advocates and the bill’s supporters said passing the act was a significant step in aligning U.S. drug laws with states and public opinion strongly supporting such measures.
EVERYONE REPUBLICAN SENATE EVERY ONE OF TRUMPS FAMILY MEMBERS AND WHITE HOUSE NEED TO ALL PAY FOR THEIR CORRUPT CRIMES! LOCK THEM UP!!!
