House Will Vote on Cannabis Legalization Bill in December

Natalie Fertig, writing for Politico:

A bill to remove federal penalties on marijuana and scrap some cannabis-related records will receive a vote on the House floor in December, according to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

In a letter to colleagues Monday, Hoyer outlined the legislative schedule for the lame-duck session in November and December. […]

Hoyer's letter did not specify which week the vote will come up, but the House is scheduled to be in session Dec. 1-4 and Dec. 7-10.

2020 has already been a huge year for drug policy reform and it looks like things aren’t slowing down anytime soon: the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on federally legalizing cannabis before it’s all over.
