House passes marijuana legalization bill (again), but with no clear path forward

"It marks the second time in less than two years that the House passed legislation to decriminalize cannabis, scrap some old marijuana-related convictions and allow states to make their own decisions about whether to establish marijuana markets. But Democrats seem no closer to fulfilling a major campaign promise, passing a party-line bill that has little chance of getting the necessary Republican support to pass the Senate."

"Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to introduce his own cannabis bill soon, but does not currently have the Democrat votes to pass it, let alone the Republicans needed to overcome a filibuster."
 
"But Democrats’ pursuit of their perfect bill worries some pro-cannabis lawmakers and advocates, who do not see a clear path forward for sweeping drug policy changes under Republican leadership in either chamber — especially the Senate. Given that Democrats may not control both houses of Congress come January, the window for federal cannabis policy change may not be open much longer."

I think a Bill can Pass. But not the 'Perfect Bill' that Democrats demand.

Nancy Mace (Republican) has a Bill;
"The freshman representative from South Carolina introduced an Americans for Prosperity-endorsed bill to end federal pot prohibition and says legalization is an issue that unites America—“just like apple pie.”

Marijuana should have no more restrictions than lettuce and other greenery--at any level of government.
It doesn't need special shops or restrictions. They should sell it in supermarkets.

Our regressive government is now a true embarrassment to all intelligent Americans.
Was it always this bad? Maybe we were paying attention to other things.

It's already legal in like 17 States. But access to the Banking system is restricted, making it a difficult to do Business. Federal legalization would cure that. It wouldn't affect States to keep it Prohibited, it doesn't address any of that. I think some States still have Counties where Alcohol is Prohibited.
 
the easiest way to make the federal government stop enforcing marijuana laws is nullification. I guess that trying to tell the brainwashed federal government worshippers that information is probably considered treasonous, though.
