Joe Rogan celebrates House voting to decriminalize marijuana at federal level
Joe Rogan recently took to social media to celebrate a bill that was recently passed to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level. The bill was passed with a slim bipartisan majority.
The bill most importantly expunges the records of those who were convicted of non-violent cannabis offenses. It also offers the state the opportunity to regulate and profit from cannabis sales by levying a sales tax on it.
