Although Democrats thought they had two more automatic budget reconciliations to use this year, they only have one.

McConnell has proved that he is still in control of the Senate, and that spells big trouble for weed.

It’s impossible to say what a final cannabis-reform bill will look like, but we have gleaned some interesting things from the smoke signals coming from Capitol Hill.

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.
