BREAKING: The House Rules Committee just cleared an NDAA amendment on marijuana banking for a floor vote—expected later this week.

BUT a separate measure on research on the benefits of psychedelics for active duty military members was blocked.

Interesting marijuana policy note:

Of the 475 amendments the Rules Committee just made in order on NDAA, #SAFEBanking is listed as *number one*

UPDATE: Cannabis banking amendment could be debated on House floor as soon as tonight

After 10 min debate, there will be a voice vote. After that, any member can request a recorded vote, which would be expected Wed

If no one calls for the roll, it can pass on voice vote alone
That said, the debate might not happen tonight and would then slide into tomorrow. We just don’t know yet, but you know that @MarijuanaMoment will be monitoring the situation and breaking it down for you as soon as we can.

#SAFEBanking could pass on voice vote tonight, or on a roll call tomorrow if requested by any member.

Here’s @MarijuanaMoment’s comprehensive look at the cannabis record of presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, from overseeing hundreds of thousands of arrests in NYC to calling legalization “the stupidest thing anybody has ever done.”

@MarijuanaMoment “Today incidentally, we are trying to legalize another addictive narcotic, which is perhaps the stupidest thing anybody has ever done.” — @MikeBloomberg on marijuana.

@MarijuanaMoment @MikeBloomberg “Yeah, right, medical, my foot. Come on. There’s no medical—this is one of the great hoaxes of all times.” — @MikeBloomberg on medical cannabis.

HUGE NEW GALLUP POLL:

Solidly two-thirds of Americans now say it is time to make marijuana legal.

Cannabis legalization enjoys U.S. support by a more than two-to-one margin of 66% - 32%.

That's a supermajority.

DETAILS AND CHARTS:
forbes.com/sites/tomangel…
Republican support for legal marijuana is rising, with 53% now on board - a 2-point bump from last year.

GOP opposition to legalizing cannabis also dropped 4 points from 2017 -- a 6-point net swing in Republican attitudes toward marijuana over 12 months.

forbes.com/sites/tomangel…
Legal marijuana support is also at an all-time-high among Democrats—75 percent—and independents, who are on board to the tune of 71 percent.
