A Democratic congressman is calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to bring marijuana legislation to the floor in light of former President Donald Trump’s recent endorsement of state and federal reform, as well as newly unearthed audio capturing former President Richard Nixon conceding that cannabis is “not particularly dangerous.”
