President Joe Biden has been a conspicuous outlier among Democrats when it comes to supporting marijuana legalization.

Schumer has been making waves on cannabis policy since he first introduced a bill to legalize marijuana in April 2018. It wasfor voting Democrat in the 2020 election, and now — with the majority in hand — he is putting together new federal marijuana reform legislation with Sens. Cory Booker and Ron Wyden .

Schumer pointed to the decade-long experiment with state legalization as evidence that the worst fears of what would happen were overblown. “The legalization of states worked out remarkably well,“ he said. “They were a great success. The parade of horribles never came about, and people got more freedom.“

Was there a specific moment or a specific experience that you can point to and say, “This is when I started to see this issue differently?” Probably the most important power of the majority leader is the ability to put bills on the floor. And the fact that I am introducing a bill, and the fact that people will know that there will be a vote on this sooner or later — that's the big difference.

New York State will soon have a legal cannabis industry, and banking is going to be a big issue. The SAFE Banking Act has already been reintroduced in the Senate. Are you working with Banking Committee Chairman [Sherrod] Brown to move the SAFE Banking Act this Congress?

Chuck Schumer is thinking big — gridlocked Senate be damnedSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's party now holds complete control of Washington — an opportunity he said comes around “maybe twice a century” If Republicans don't want to join or negotiate, crush them, and then smear their faces in it. They'd do it if the situation was reversed. Ok let’s see so far we have the worst border crisis after two decades, still experiencing violence - gun shootings, so let’s see how Dems will make things better. It's not really 'complete' control: Senate minority power (filibuster), SCOTUS, etc.

Biden boosted by Senate rules as GOP bucks infrastructureWith an appeal to think big, President Joe Biden is promoting his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan directly to Americans, summoning public support to push past the Republicans lining up against the massive effort they sum up as big taxes, big spending and big government. Republicans in Congress are making the politically brazen bet that it’s more advantageous to oppose the costly American Jobs Plan, saddling the Democrats with ownership of the sweeping proposal and the corporate tax hike Biden says is needed to pay for it. On Monday, Biden received a boost from an unexpected source. McConnell's being very clear. Dems get to save time and energy not even trying to get them on board. ...and hopefully Joe Manchin will drop his requirement that Senate bills be bi-partisan. McConnell's telling us that aint going to happen As even CNN says 2022 looking good for Republicans MAC JUST WANTS TO BE SURE HE AND HIS WIFE WILL GET BIG BACK HANDERS..
