Republicans are not happy with the marijuana provisions included in the House's proposed $3 trillion package.
Republicans are not happy with the marijuana provisions included in the $3 trillion coronavirus bill introduced by House Democrats this week, calling out lawmakers for using the word"The bold new policy from Washington Democrats that will kick coronavirus to the curb and save American families from this crisis—here it is, here it is: new annual studies on diversity and inclusion within the cannabis industry," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday during a floor speech.
Representative Jodey Arrington said it's"suspicious" when more language is devoted to marijuana than jobs. Unlike the last four coronavirus relief measures, the HEROES Act isn't a product of bipartisan negotiations. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has defended the ambitious package, arguing that"we must think big for the people now, because if we don't it will cost more in lives and livelihood later. Not acting is the most expensive course."
