U.S. House committee approves marijuana bill; what comes next?

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved a bill that would legalize marijuana at the federal level. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, or MORE, would remove marijuana from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act, where it is classified alongside heroin and LSD. The bill was approved with a 24-10 vote.

    Old republicans want weed legal also. You cant blanket statement everyone as pro or con weed because of party. Typical bias news.

    It won’t get done because they’re too busy with impeachment so American people get nothing

    But felons, beyond drug charges, have been blackballed & banned from this new "jobs" "market" "industry"! A CASH-GRAB TAX-SCAM FOR BIG PHARMA BIG AG PESTICIDE POT! NO THANKS!!! http://www.truedemocracy.net/hj37/45.html
    ATTENTION** Federal Cannabis Hemp Marijuana Prohibition is Unconstitutional!
    There has been no Amendment to the U.S. Constitution EVER regarding Cannabis. The 9th Amendment in the Bill of Rights says : "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people".
    In other words, we do have the right to use alcohol and cannabis even though those rights are not listed in the Constitution. And the proof is it did require a Constitutional amendment, the 18th, ratified in 1919, to prohibit alcohol. It required another amendment, the 21st, ratified in 1933, to repeal that prohibition when the people and the government realized how stupid it was — just as Cannabis prohibition is.
    But there has not been a Constitutional amendment in the case of Cannabis. Because it can be proven in court that Cannabis is not as harmful as alcohol, it can not be prohibited without amending the Constitution.
    The 18th Amendment, alcohol prohibition, is a binding precedent. Just in case you are ever arrested, have that evidence and expert witnesses ready. A jury has the authority to nullify an unconstitutional law, and declare the defendant not guilty.
    And surely routine drug testing/urinalysis is a violation of the 4th Amendment, regarding unreasonable search & seizure, and the 5th Amendment, regarding self-incrimination. #NOMENSREA The term "prohibition" in itself, is both misleading & false, regarding the "legality" of #ONEPLANT ^Cannabis
    Thank You & kindly get your boot off our necks and your jack-hats our of our gardens! ! !
    No Justice No Peace!

    Mitch McConnel doesn’t know what Kentucky wants anymore. Legalize it

    States rights is why we had a civil war



  11. PSYKEY on March 30, 2020 at 12:38 pm

    Even LSD shouldn’t be illegal, lead alone cannabis!



  12. ?? on March 30, 2020 at 12:43 pm

    Idk who this guy is but major kudos to him for being one of the only honest news reporters. Probably 25% of this report was on script. The rest was his personal opinions and observations. The vast majority of news reporters wouldn’t have the stones to address this topic as candidly as he did, and as a news reporter, you have to respect him for that! So again, kudos to this guy!

    Making criminals makes money what this government is crazy



  17. nancy kurtz on March 30, 2020 at 12:51 pm

    Decriminalized verses legal and defining something as recreational explanation would be nice. You can’t be drunk at work and you can’t be buzzed at work. The roadside tests are less than 75%reliable, to be generous, and forfeitures are not illegal. Be careful out there.

    My cannabis is therapeutic



  19. Courtland Stewart on March 30, 2020 at 12:53 pm

    I think every state just like Texas would implement DWI (driving while intoxicated) as a law to supplement overturned convictions.

    Without legalization there will be no marijuana businesses on NYSE. No investors means no US marijuana corporations. It is illegal for Americans to invest in Canadian marijuana stocks.



  26. Big A 1984 W on March 30, 2020 at 1:03 pm

    They will never federally legalized marijuana, too many Niggas too lock up over petty drug laws. Land of the free πŸ˜‚

    It is unconstitutional for cannabis laws to be inforced on Kansas citizens. The U.S. Constitution says in Artical IV section 2 "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states."… If therefor I being a Kansas citizen decided to grow three cannabis plants for religious practices, me also being a Rastafarian I would be Jaled. However if I lived only less than 200 miles to the west in Colorado I would face no punishment. Article IV section 2 goes on to say "A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee justice, and be found in another state, shall on demand of executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime."… So if therefore I get caught with 3 cannabis plants in Kansas and flee" justice" to Colorado, they should send me back to Kansas where I have been charged for a crime, which is not a crime.

    If federal law Trumps state law then how would the states have the authority to regulate if it passes??

    This is long overdue long live acb stock is at a bargain especially if becomes legal in the us

    This is just like a cop that don’t want to bother arresting ppl for heroin that would be a crooked cop and taking bribes . if marijuana is still a class 1 at a federal level and the banks can take there money that means the government can take the taxes from the sale of marijuana. This being said wouldn’t that be a crooked government and a dirty move . Legalize it already u crooked bastards !!!!
