420sake Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to decriminalize cannabis at a federal level in an historic first. The move could also pave the way for reassessments of previous federal marijuana convictions. https://www.rt.com/usa/508733-us-house-vote-decriminalize-cannabis 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420sake Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 House votes to legalize weed The House on Friday passed a landmark bill that would remove federal penalties on marijuana and erase cannabis-related criminal records. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/04/house-votes-to-legalize-weed-442903 Quote When Republicans brought up the lack of regulations on edibles or vaping products in the bill during a House Rules Committee hearing this week, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said regulating a new industry was not the point. “This bill deals with decriminalizing, at a federal level, for possession and distribution — those simple points,” said Jackson Lee. “Let me be clear that we wanted to bring justice to thousands who have been incarcerated and [who] have been shut out from basic dignity of housing, scholarships and others. And I think we've answered it in this bill.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ill_Evan Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Great for the USA and long overdue. Decriminalizing at the state level but having it still illegal at the federal level has been a ball ache for any small scale farmer trying to move away from the black market into the legal industry.

And the republicans will not pass it... if the 2 guys in gorgia, Ossoff and Warnock, should win... then there is a chance to pass it. No clue where we stand here.
