Bill to Decriminalize Marijuana Passes Easily in House of Representatives
In a historic vote, the House of Representatives on Friday elected to remove marijuana from the nation's Controlled Substances Act. This would effectively legalize the drug if the measure becomes law. The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act passed by a comfortable 228 to 164 margin.
While the poll generally went along party lines, with Democrats tending to vote in favor and Republicans against, six House members in the former party and five in the latter crossed the aisle in the count.
