House Judiciary Committee Passes Historic Marijuana Bill

The MORE Act aims to legalize marijuana federally, expunge criminal records, and reinvest in communities affected by prohibition. It proposes a 5% federal tax on marijuana sales. While it passed a committee vote, opposition exists among some Republicans and moderate Democrats. The bill's future in the Senate is uncertain, though supported by Kamala Harris, who emphasizes the need to remove barriers for those with marijuana convictions.
