It’s Groundhog Day again in the House, as Democrats vote to legalize marijuana at the Federal level.
If you are reading the headlines again that somehow marijuana just got legalized in America, you are sadly mistaken,
and to be honest, you are living in a “wishful thinking” marijuana moment. Don't fall for the banana in tailpipe again
around the House passing Federal marijuana legalization, it is not going to happen anytime soon in the Senate.
Banana in the tailpipe!
Banana in the tailpipe!
Speaking of Marijuana Moment they do a good job of summarizing all the marijuana voting done in the House today
here (https://www.marijuanamoment.net/house-begins-final-debate-on-federal-marijuana-legalization-bill-with-floor-
vote-imminent/). As Marijuana Moment points out, this is the second time the House has passed a federal
legalization bill, not to mention the dozens of pro-cannabis bills that have been introduced in the house to end up
going nowhere.
If you are a regular reader of Cannabis.net you know that our curmudgeon stance on Federal legalization always ends
with the same sentence, “marijuana will be Federally legal when Mitch McConnell says it should be Federally legal
(https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/is-the-republicans-bill-to-legalize-marijuana-deadonarrival-if-mitch-mcconnell-
doesnt-support-i)”. That’s it. That is when it will happen. No reason to debate it, no reason to celebrate state-by-
state legalization each year, weed will be legal at the Federal level when Mitch gives it the okay from the Republican
side.
Are you going to see Federal marijuana legalization soon?

No.
Here are some good reasons why it won’t happen soon:
McConnell sees marijuana legalization as a big “Democratic” issue. Legalizing weed would be a big win for
Democrats, which Mitch has no interest in seeing right now. He has publicly ridiculed Democrats for trying to
attach cannabis legalization onto other bills like the Defense Spending Bill. The senator from Kentucky has
actually pointed it out twice on live TV or streaming saying how stupid and sneaky the legalization effort has
been so far by Democrats. He has even gone so far as calling marijuana legalization a "poison pill"
(https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/mitch-mcconnell-hates-weed-get-over-it-senator-calls-safe-banking-act-a-
poison-pill-in-latest-a) when added onto other legislation.
As AOC recently pointed out, the Democrats are in trouble for the mid-term elections coming up this year. The
Republicans will win more seats in the House and maybe Senate. It is in Mitch’s self-interest to hold the line and
wait for Republicans to have more seats in the House and Senate and then introduce a Republican bill like Rep.
Mace’s bill for cannabis legalization. Get all the credit and glory while knowing it will 100% pass, unlike the
Democrat’s futile efforts at Federal legalization.
Money talks and Big Tobacco, Big Pharma, and Big Alcohol all spend billions on lobbying efforts, while the
marijuana industry spends a paltry few million dollars on lobbying. Senators and other politicians listen to their
biggest donors and lobbyist, so weed will be legalized when Republicans and big lobbyist are set up financially
for Federal legalization to take place. When everyone has their ducks-in-a-row as they say, then we will see
Federal legalization.
In order for the MORE ACT or any other cannabis legalization bill to pass the Senate it will need a 60-vote
minimum in favor, and at last count the senate was close to 10 votes short on previous votes. To put it in
perspective, they aren’t even close to getting the 60 votes need, unless Mitch tells Republicans to vote for it.
The House vote was 220 for and 204 against, not exactly a clear-cut win for the marijuana movement in America. 202
Republicans voted against it and 2 Democrats voted against cannabis legalization.
If you watched any of the C-SPAN streaming today you would seen Republicans calling marijuana a gateway drug,
how this is a ruse while ignoring real issues like inflation and war, and America does not need more drug addicts.
With Republican most likely gaining more power in the mid-term elections, weed will be legalized when Mitch
McConnell says it will be legalized.

OPINION
Can You Use Cannabis as a Study Aid?
A new study, which was released in September 2021, revealed that almost half of the college-age students around the United States admitted to consuming
cannabis within the last year. Though it isn’t sure if the rise in cannabis consumption was driven by the pandemic, the highlight of this is that it has helped to
curb booze consumption.

OPINION
How the Cannabis Industry is Pushing the Boundaries of Digital Payments
The cannabis industry is a growing market and as a growing market, it is stretching its wings to bigger horizons needed for a functioning market structure.
One of those horizons is in the place of financial structures. It is not just enough for the product to be in demand by consumers there are necessary structures
and strategies that must be put in place to ensure the forward movement of the market. This, however, is a special problem faced by the cannabis industry…

OPINION
Does Prenatal Cannabis Use Make Angry Babies? - Debunking the Latest Medical Study
This isn’t to say that there may be biological concerns about consuming cannabis, this most certainly needs to be studied clinically. However, the study that
was cited - as with many of the studies where there are scathing views on cannabis – was not clinical in nature. Additionally, the phrase “Some of the mothers
said they had used cannabis only after giving birth,” makes the claim of the article seem more dubious.
