Joe Biden did not campaign on legalizing marijuana but it is possible, maybe even likely, that the federal prohibition of marijuana ends under his watch.
Although more than half the nation has laws on the books that allow people to use marijuana for medicinal use, the federal government isn’t as progressive.
What really matters is the Senate, which appears more likely than not to remain in Republican hands, possibly hampering the efforts of those seeking to end federal prohibition of weed.
Traction for legalizing cannabis has had the solid commitment of Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA-13), who currently serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee.
