The procedural move, known as "Rule 14," allows it to skip over the committee process, paving the way for the legislation to be brought up on the Senate floor. The move doesn't automatically guarantee that the bill will get a vote. A spokesman for McConnell noted on Monday that they didn't have guidance or an announcement about if, or when, the bill would come up. The bill, known as the Hemp Farming Act of 2018, would legalize hemp, removing it from the federal list of controlled substances and allowing it to be sold as an agricultural commodity.

On the first great-weather day of Spring 2018, President Donald Trump has committed to withdrawing federal objections to the legalization of marijuana, reports Tom Angell of Marijuana Moment. President Trump is preparing to support far-reaching legislation to reform federal marijuana prohibition so that states can enact their own cannabis laws without interference. "Since the campaign, President Trump has consistently supported states' rights to decide for themselves how best to approach marijuana," U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (D-CO) said in a statement. "Late Wednesday, I received a commitment from the President that the Department of Justice's rescission of the Cole memo will not impact Colorado's legal marijuana industry. Furthermore, President Trump has assured me that he will support a federalism-based legislative solution to fix this states' rights issue once and for all." In a briefing with reporters on Friday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the development, calling Gardner's statement "accurate." "We're always consulting Congress about issues including states' rights, of which the president is a firm believer," she said. When Prohibition was repealed, they needed to find some work for all those cops who had been shut down. So they did some kind of study and found that marijuana was bad for you and it was made illegal. It has been like this now since the 1930s. Slowly some of the states are legalizing it, such as Colorado. Out in north California there is the Emerald triangle where there is a large amount of Mary Jane grown. It is cut, dried and sold to wholesalers where it is sold legally. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
