U.S. Sen. Cory Booker said that the Senate version of legislation ending the federal ban on cannabis should be introduced by the end of the month.
but that attracted only three Republican voted and Booker needs the support of at least 10 GOP senators if the Senate is to pass legislation.
“No serious legislator, cannabis advocate, or industry stakeholder believes the MORE Act has any prospect of becoming law this Congress,” Joyce said. “How do I know this? They told me. I only wish they told the millions who are depending on them as well.” House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler, the MORE Act’s chief sponsor, rejected Joyce’s characterization of the legislation as “a messaging bill” and said proponents of the bill would be trying to convince senators to support it.
In outlining their bill, the senators set a deadline of Sept. 1, 2021, for suggestions on what to include, and exclude, from the final measure.
