Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) announced over the Thanksgiving weekend that the MORE Act, which would end the federal prohibition of cannabis, has been scheduled for a full floor vote this coming week.
The vote could happen as early as Wednesday evening.
Advocates expect the bill to pass; House leaders typically don’t bring a measure to the floor unless they know they have the votes. Passage of the MORE Act would mark the first time that the House or the Senate has ever voted as a full chamber on legislation to end the federal cannabis prohibition since it went into effect following the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
Bout fing time
It’s been eighty years since federal marijuana prohibition took effect, not 50. 1930 saw a tax stamp purchase requirement to grow, possess or transport it, only no one could get a stamp without admitting unstamped possession, a crime. 1970 was Nixon’s doing, despite the evidence presented by his own commission that minimized health risks and hinted at benefits.
