Here I’ll help you out baby girl.

“ Despite the fact that the U.S. House of Representatives just passed it, there is little chance that the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act — or MORE Act — will become law anytime soon. “

It is not the first time the House has voted to decriminalize weed. The last time, in 2020, the Senate never even considered the bill. It probably won’t this time, either.

President Joe Biden promised that he would support changing the classification of marijuana to make it less regulated than other narcotics like heroin, but he has remained unmoved by state after state allowing recreational marijuana. Biden’s marijuana stance may be best illustrated by the fact that his administration fired five staffers who admitted to past cannabis use.

Marijuana Moment tracks laws and noted this after the House vote Friday: “White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said hours after the House vote in favor of the MORE Act that the president agrees that ‘our current marijuana laws are not working,’ but she declined to say whether he supports the specific legislation.”

For the MORE Act to pass the Senate, supporters would need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.
