The MORE Act is dead on arrival if it reaches the Senate
When will marijuana reform be on the table in the U.S.?

Content: 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. Another problem here is that even if a House-backed cannabis reform bill like the MORE Act were to reach the Senate floor for vote, there's little guarantee that enough votes would be there to pass it. The Senate is currently in Republican hands by a relatively slim majority, and Republicans historically have a more adverse view of marijuana than Democrats or Independents. Plus, Democrats would practically need to be unanimous in their support of the MORE Act in the Senate for the bill to pass, which is unlikely. Image source: Getty Images.
