'Best Congress we've ever had' for marijuana legalization, Dem says

Whether congressional elections were better for Democrats or Republicans may be up for debate, but they were a clear win for cannabis.

Not only did three states — Utah, Missouri, and Michigan — legalize some usage of marijuana, voters “have given us the best Congress we’ve ever had” as far as easing federal restrictions on the drug, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat who captured 73 percent of the vote in his district, told reporters on Wednesday.
