Mitch McConnell Accepts Marijuana Machete Honoring Anti-Drug Record

Marijuana Moment by Kyle Jaeger 11/2/2019

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) accepted an honorary machete this week that was used to chop down “thousands” of marijuana plants.

While McConnell has routinely resisted marijuana reform, he visited California last month and met with industry executives and toured a cannabis facility. That’s led some to speculate that he’s open to modest reform legislation, as the visit came in the backdrop of a House vote in favor of a bill that would protect banks that service marijuana businesses from being penalized by federal regulators.

But now advocates might be left wondering whether McConnell’s new marijuana machete will be metaphorically used to chop up House-passed cannabis legislation in what Democrats call his Senate “legislative graveyard.”
