The farts come from the right too
...Let's get real here.

Notably, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives already passed legislation in December that would legalize cannabis at the federal level. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act (or MORE Act) was approved in the House with the support of five Republicans, one independent, and all but six Democrats. However, that legislation stalled in the Senate, which was then controlled by Republicans.

A senior Democratic aide touted the MORE Act when reached for comment by Newsweek on the Republican proposal.

"The MORE Act represents one of the most comprehensive marijuana reforms bills ever introduced and passed by the House because it not only decriminalizes marijuana at the federal level but addresses the devastating injustices caused by the War on Drugs, which Democrats strongly agree should be included in any meaningful federal legislation," the aide said.
