The MORE Act did make history on Nov. 20 when the House Judiciary Committee voted overwhelmingly (24-10) to approve the bill. Eventually, it could make its way to the House floor for vote, which would give it a promising chance of passage. After all, the House is majority-run by Democrats, and most members of the Democratic Party believe in legalizing pot at the federal level. Following passage of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act by a vote of 321 to 103, it seems logical that the MORE Act would have little trouble garnering a majority vote in the House. Bu that's where the history making will end, because once the MORE Act reaches the Senate, it'll be dead. One problem is that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R–Ky.) has no intention of allowing cannabis legislation to hit the Senate floor for vote. McConnell has not minced words about marijuana in the past and has purposefully blocked reform measures before. Put simply, as long as McConnell is Senate Majority Leader, there's virtually no chance of any House-sponsored cannabis reforms ever seeing the light of day in the Senate.
