Senate Democrats are set to unveil an effort to decriminalise marijuana at the federal level on Thursday but face an uphill battle to seeing it become law.
A bill that would decriminalise the bill at the federal level and acknowledge the right of states to set their own levels of restrictions on the substance is being sponsored by none other than Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, one of the most vocal proponents for changing the federal designation of cannabis which is currently scheduled the same as addictive and dangerous drugs like heroin.
