Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday filed his bill to remove marijuana from the federal controlled substances list and effectively allow states to continue to decide how to regulate cannabis.
The legislation, first announced in April by the New York Democrat, is expected to face an uphill battle.
Schumer’s bill is co-sponsored by the following senators:
- Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent
- Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat
- Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat
The bill would not change federal authorities’ ability to prosecute trafficking between marijuana-legal states and states where cannabis is illegal.
Capitalizing on the CBD surge.
i dont really care for Shumer, but if he is now pro mmj i kind of changed my mind a little, if he gets this done, i will be a democrat supporting republican i guess, however, i still think his relative isnt funny, but Amy probably had a little input for him. whats important is we move forward and self regulate this industry and hold ourselves to higher standards for the good of the movement, the industry, and the country, and most of all, the millions of patients who rely on this medicinal wonder to enable them to have a better quality of day to day life.
Very Good, Chuck Schumer
D.C. has it, ( Every States needs Cannabis also.)
Ha ha-trade the bipartisan passing of this bill-a good start
with the agreement to fast-track the Supreme Court pick.
Then the GOP can introduce legalization in 2019.
And I haven’t even had my evening medicine.
Last minute about face to save his career. Bye Chuckie.
Why is it that the bill only offers women and minority loans to start weed shops? This anti men anti white movement is pissing me off
