Without question, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer needs to get tougher on McConnell if he wants this time in control to be as productive as possible. The word on the street is that Senate Democrats are losing their patience with Republicans....

Only 1 in 10 Americans believe marijuana should remain classified as an illegal drug.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Democratic-controlled Senate face immense challenges in passing any cannabis-related bill in 2021.

Democrats and Republicans alike support the legalization of marijuana and continue to fight for it on Capitol Hill.

Let’s be clear, Senate Majority Leader Schumer cannot afford to lose any more support from his own party if he plans to legalize weed.

While it is almost certain that this bill will be passed this year, it does not promise to be hitch-free.

The only way Senate Democrats have been able to bypass Republican opposition so far this year and move forward with its agenda is through budget reconciliation.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to make clear whether or not President Biden would sign a bill to legalize cannabis on the federal level.

Any smidgen of hope that the nation will see federal marijuana legalization this year is ultimately contingent on the survival of a modest cannabis banking bill.

The stableness of the filibuster almost ensures that legal marijuana is going to be a huge failure in 2021.
