SaysWho? Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 House to take historic vote on federally decriminalizing marijuana - ABC News ABCNEWS.GO.COM The MORE Act would mandate a reassessment of prior marijuana convictions and invest in social services for people caught up in the war on drugs. My favorite part of the article: Quote For the first time in congressional history, House Democrats are poised for a vote Friday on a long-shot measure that would decriminalize marijuana use at the federal level -- months after pulling the bill amid worries the controversial vote could cause some lawmakers to lose tight races in November.
