Cannabis Reform Dead In Congress After Objections From Republicans

Lawmakers couldn’t even agree to approve a modest bill allowing cannabis businesses access to banking. Several top Republican senators, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas), opposed the banking provision.

It wasn't Just Republicans.

The prospect of cannabis reform looked brighter at the start of this Democratic-controlled Congress. The House passed a sweeping bill legalizing marijuana nationwide earlier this year, but it stalled in the Senate due to opposition from Republicans and a handful of Democrats. The focus on reform then shifted to passing more incremental changes, like the banking bill.
