Legislation to legalize recreational marijuana is being discussed in Missouri and on the national level.
In Washington D.C., lawmakers in the U.S. House passed a bill called the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act. In the Senate, nine Republicans signed on as cosponsors. The MORE Act would impose a 5% tax on marijuana sales and fund programs aimed at helping communities harmed by local policies made to punish people for distributing and using drugs.
It’s not clear whether a bill to broadly legalize marijuana could clear the necessary 60 votes to advance in the Senate.
