How The House Approved MORE Act Would Jack Up The Economy

Despite the proven track record of cannabis sales in the U.S., Senate Republicans still refuse to go down the path toward legalization.

For the first time in history, Congress has voted to legalize marijuana in the United States. Well, kind of.

The House of Representatives approved a piece of legislation (MORE Act) last week to eliminate the cannabis plant from the Controlled Substances Act and work to expunge criminal records and dedicate funds to those communities choking on the bones of the drug war. But the bill is not expected to advance with Senate support. More accurately, it’s probably dead in its tracks.
