Key House Committee Sends Marijuana Legalization Bill To Floor For Vote

By Kyle Jaeger
December 2, 2020

A key House committee advanced a bill to federally legalize marijuana on Wednesday, clearing its path to a floor vote that leadership said will come on Friday.

While several amendments to the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act were submitted to the Rules Committee, most were not deemed in order for floor consideration. A manager’s amendment offered by the bill’s sponsor, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), will be attached under the rule approved by the panel, however.

This was the last step before the bill is taken up by the full chamber, and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said in a briefing with reporters that it will start with debate on Thursday, a day ahead of the final vote.

Under the rule approved by the panel in a voice vote, the legislation will be closed to further amendments on the floor, and members defeated a Republican proposal to keep the bill open to changes.

There will be one hour of debate on the bill in the House, and that time will be “equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member” of the Judiciary Committee.

The bill’s consideration was a historic development for cannabis reform advocates. If the Democratic-controlled House ultimately approves the legislation, it would mark the first time that a chamber of Congress voted not just to protect state marijuana programs from federal interference but to formally deschedule the plant.

Will be debating this on the House floor a little bit later, already did some today but taking a break now. Should be on CSPAN.
 
 
Idiot libertarians who don't know anything are beating up Thomas over voting no when they don't understand what was actually in the bill...



Thomas has pledged never to vote for new taxes. He would be breaking his pledge if he had voted for it.




Not to mention it was a bad bill that greatly expanded government. Take all of that stuff away, and have a straight vote on prohibition, guaranteed Thomas would have voted for it.




There is never an excuse to vote to expand government. All of this crap attached to the bill is unconstitutional anyway.






And here is the full text of the bill:

If you're on social media and see this crap, please fight back and get Thomas' back.
 
What many libertarians don't understand is that there is no decriminalization of mj.

The only way you will get it legally is if they let you, and the only way they let you is if they can tax you for it to pay for their failures.

Massie is a badass and I praise him for standing up but that stuff has always been pie in the sky and not realistic. Maybe if Biden does pull off this fraud and screw with the upcoming GA senate elections, they can pass this shthole mj bill into law and none of you would have any say in it.

In the meantime, nullify.

I'll support these type of abominations to a limited degree at the state level if it is better than having it illegal, but getting the feds involved?? F that.

See! It only took a little over a year:

After all, it takes a lot of time and effort to go from a standing start to a fully worked-out system for anti-competitive cronyism, regulation and revenue-generation.

But it will happen ...

Well, I suppose that you can sit around and wait for Uncle Sugar to give you your permission slips. Maybe you can staple your permission slips to your face diapers so you can show us all how rebellious you are. I can’t believe people still give politicians quarter.
