Afederal bill that would decriminalize cannabis use has been approved by the U.S. House of Representatives for the second time, but the bill’s fate in the Senate is unclear.

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act, H.R. 3617, passed the House in a 220-204 vote on April 1 with all but two Democrats voting for the measure and all but three Republicans voting against it.
