U.S.
SENATE

The United States Senate is the upper house of the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the United States Government. Today, the Senate turns its attention to the issue of marijuana legalization, a topic that has grown far beyond a matter of policy and become a conversation about people’s lives, opportunities, and futures.

Across the country, millions of Americans live under a mix of state and federal rules that often contradict each other. Lawmakers must confront the real stories behind these policies: patients seeking relief, young people affected by criminal records, and local economies shaped by an emerging industry.

⚠️ ATTENTION: This committee has unique rules of procedure which will be published with the study guide.
