Congress Makes History With Medical Marijuana Research Bill

For the first time in the nation’s history, the U.S. Congress has sent a bill to a president that solely addresses a legal cannabis issue.

Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, is pushing the Republican-controlled state legislature to decriminalize possession of small amounts of cannabis.

President Joe Biden wants pardons for those with federal marijuana possession charges and a review of cannabis’s Schedule I status.

A year after Democrats took control of the House and Congress, there’s been no real changes in marijuana law at the federal level. Is 2022 the year?

Biden’s position during the campaign on cannabis – which basically called for decriminalization – hasn’t changed since he took office.
