Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has to be fuming about this
Full Thread from him:
Well, if they win the House then they better introduce some serious legislation.
Not sure how likely it is to happen, if only because I still think the GOP will probably keep the Senate, so it'd depend on whether any GOP senators would be on board.

Exhibit A.Democrats have a record of talking the talk but not walking the walk.
Democratic lawmakers are seeking to legalize marijuana.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Thursday he is planning to introduce a bill to remove marijuana from the list of federally controlled substances.
Schumer's bill comes on the heels of two bills introduced in the House and Senate — dubbed the Marijuana Justice Act — which would go further than Schumer's bill by fully legalizing marijuana at the federal level and expunging convictions for marijuana use or possession.
The House version of the Marijuana Justice Act, introduced by Reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna of California and sponsored by 12 House Democrats, is a companion to Sen. Cory Booker's Marijuana Justice Act, introduced in the Senate last year.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a top contender for the Democrats 2020 nomination, signed on to Booker's bill on Wednesday.
Beyond removing marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act list, both the House and Senate bills propose going a step further to provide "restorative justice" to communities disproportionately affected by marijuana arrests and convictions and create an "inclusive industry from the ground up," Lee said in a call with reporters in January.
Lee called the legislation "a bold proposal to reverse decades of discriminatory drug enforcement and to bring federal marijuana policy in line with the wishes of the American people."
