Hopefully this can get a few votes from Republicans in the Senate. Thats really all it takes.

Isn’t this just for decriminalization?

Decriminalization and removal of it as a scheduled 1 drug, which allows banks to now operate with legal cannabis businesses.
Biden is going to executive order it through anyways, but still a big day.

It also removes banking hurdles for marijuana businesses in states where this it has been legalized while also preventing the feds from prosecuting people following state legalized regimes. While this has been the practice at DOJ under the Trump administration and latter Obama years, there was nothing written in stone preventing a future administration from suddenly releasing the hounds to enforce federal prohibition laws on states, businesses, and end users in states that have legalized it.
This law fixes that uncertainty, which has been a big reason touted by southern conservative lawmakers opposing widespread legalization in their states. They feared they would legalize businesses to deal in it and then those businesses would get prosecuted by overzealous feds. This law prevents that possibility.
In addition, the rescheduling opens up for marijuana to be used in far more research.

Will never pass Senate. There are over 20 million on unemployment and jobs report for November was abysmal. They have much more important things they should be focusing on right now.

this would literally help that. look at the revenue it has brought each state.

Takes more than a few GOP votes. Assuming Mitch will even bring it to floor for debate, the first vote requires 60 to end debate and vote on passage of the bill. Won't be enough GOP senators voting for it to reach 60.

This is such a dumb talking point and excuse for not doing the right thing and ending a practice which never should have begun in the first place.
Legalizing marijuana could create massive numbers of jobs, and moving the growth, sales, and distribution of marijuana out of the black market would generate tons of tax revenues for flailing state and local governments. In addition, getting that revenue out of the hands of violent cartels and into the hands of small businesses who can settle their disputes in courts of law rather than through force will make a noticeable dent in violent crime.

If McConnell doesn't allow a vote on this I hope the citizens of Georgia remember it when they head to the polls for their runoff elections in January.

Even if it doesn't pass, I want those still against this to put it on their voting record for all to see. Lots of republican voters want this to pass. He's protecting the other senators shitty, outdated views by not allowing it on the floor.

That chode named McConnell would never even allow this bill to see the floor for a vote, much less allow his lackeys to vote for it. Two party systems are awesome!Posted on 12/4/20 at 1:32 pm to BottomlandBrew
There are several R proponents of it. Matt Gaetz came out heavily for it in the House.
I would imagine that Rand Paul will be in favor of it in the Senate.
