Democrats Pushing Bills for Marijuana Legalization

Description

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he is planning to introduce a bill to remove marijuana from the list of the US' federally controlled substances. The bill comes on the heels of two others introduced in the House and Senate — dubbed the Marijuana Justice Act. These would go further than Schumer's bill by fully legalizing marijuana at the federal level and getting rid of convictions for pot use or possession. The House's Marijuana Justice Act is currently sponsored by 12 House Democrats while Senator Bernie Sanders, a top contender for the Democrats 2020 nomination, signed on to Cory's Booker's version on Wednesday this week.

    It's still unknown whether President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden will win the 2020 race for the US presidency. But according to Gizmodo, one clear winner has emerged in another fight: the drug legalization movement. In both red and blue cities and states, people voted to legalize or decriminalize cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, and, in Oregon, all illicit drugs entirely. New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana all passed ballot measures to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Voting to legalize cannabis and other drugs appeared to have nothing to do with whether a state voted for Trump or Biden--or its governor's party. and GOP governors of Arizona and South Dakota discouraged residents from voting to legalize cannabis. It didn't work.
