House to vote on removing cannabis from list of controlled substances
By Tal Axelrod - 08/28/20 09:10 PM EDT

The House will vote on legislation next month to remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act and erase some marijuana criminal records.

The bill would not legalize the drug, which would be left up to states, but the vote will still be a historic step in the effort to reduce legal penalties related to the drug. House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said in an email to members that the vote will take place during the September work period.

I would expect nothing less of this congress.

I wonder when they will change question 21-e on the ATF gun purchase form?

  Firearms Transaction Record   4473

21-e. Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside

Having strong Libertarian leanings, I fully support this action.

And no, I'm not a user of the substance.
