- facetube 11y agoSanders filed a bill to remove cannabis from the controlled substances act altogether, which would defer any decision on its prohibition or legal status to individual states: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/s2237/text https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/s2237/text. It's not full all-at-once nationwide legalization, but it's not a mere decrease in federal penalties either.
