Snip:
The circle of people on Capitol Hill who will decide if cannabis legislation passes is actually pretty small. There are three names that are continually listed — by lobbyists, advocates, and lawmakers — as the gatekeepers to any federal cannabis legislation: Republican Senators Mike Crapo (ID), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY).

They make decisions about which cannabis bills — if any — the Senate in Congress will have opportunity to vote on this session.

“I used to think that in civics, in government, you need 50 percent plus one to pass legislation,” Murphy says. “Not exactly. You need one, plus 50 percent.” That one, says Murphy, is a committee chairman.

1. All three can, and have been, bought off before.

Maybe when they invest in hemp they will be putting ads for it on every billboard in the country (as long as they get rich off of it). Isn't that what changed John Boehner's tune?

2. Isn't John boner a weed lobbyist now? He should write them out checks just like he did

3. I'd be suprised if those three ever let that happen

It's much too convenient as a way to incarcerate minorities en masse.

4. They are all anachronisms.

We, the people, will relegate them all to the dustbin of history.

5. Two out of the three are in tobacco states.

6. Commercial Cannabis is in its infancy

The Senators see the revenue that Colorado has generated and their vote is going to to cost quite a more than normal.
It will pass, no doubt, “Big Cannabis” is just going to have to dig deeper.
