3 Hidden Issues With Legalizing Marijuana in the U.S.
This was a week that pro-cannabis enthusiasts had long hoped for. On Tuesday, Jan. 5, Georgia residents went to the polls, once again, to decide which two candidates should represent their state in the U.S. Senate. With Republicans holding 50 seats and Democrats (including Independents in this total) having won 48 seats, it would have required only one GOP victory among these two elections to secure a majority in the Senate through early 2023. But that wasn't the outcome.
When the dust cleared, both Democratic Party candidates won, putting the upper house of Congress at a 50-50 tie. In the Senate, ties are broken by the Vice President, which in less than two weeks will be Democrat Kamala Harris. This win effectively gives Democrats control of the House, Senate, and White House, albeit by the slimmest of margins, assuming lawmakers vote according to party line.
