BREAKING: Cannabis would be decriminalized at the federal level under legislation the House approved Friday. The bill is unlikely to become law since it is expected to die in the Senate.
Cannabis would be decriminalized at the federal level under legislation the House approved Friday as Democrats made the case for allowing states to set their own policies on pot.
The House approved the bill Friday with a mostly party-line vote of 220-204. All but two voting Democrats backed the measure, while only three Republicans did. “Those criminal records can haunt people of color and impact the trajectory of their lives indefinitely," Hoyer said. “I regret that there are some members of our Congress who apparently think that's not worthy of attention."Republicans who opposed the measure said cannabis is a gateway drug that would lead to greater use of opioids and other dangerous substances.
