WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives on Friday voted to federally legalize marijuana, but the bill faces long odds in the Senate and a possible veto by President Biden, who opposes legalizing pot.
The bill would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and let states set their own policies. Biden has not specifically addressed his stance on the bill, but his aides say he opposes legalization while supporting more limited steps toward decriminalization.
The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act passed 220-204. Two Democrats voted against it and only three Republicans voted in favor.
