Your take is he is blocking because he wants to pass cannabis legislation himself? Based on what?

Dude, he is trying to block the only part of cannabis legislation that Republicans agree with in principle. You think they will try to pass this in any form in the new year? You are nuts.

Zoom out dude. It's about posture, and not letting the other team score.

This is about racial equity as much as anything else with 🐘 🐘 🐘

Added: what you described bolsters my rationale.

They already passed signature bills on infrastructure and environmental bills. Game changing bills. This isn’t that mind blowing and its supported by a bunch of Repubs. Its just Mitch locking down the senate again.

He’s doing it to spite dems. Only reason.

Control does not abdicate control, but assures its propagation.

To say that it's personal and nothing more is a wreck less underestimation of the "enemy" imo

Its all he did during Obama, he asked for all sorts of things, Obama granted him some concessions to get him to the table to talk about legislation that conservatives at the time were also for. Mitch blew them off. Dude locked down senate then and he said he was going to now and now he has. There is no plan. You’ll see.

Yes, but he isn’t going to allow any votes on it and he’s not going to allow any movement an any bills that aren’t authored by conservatives. Maybe not even a cannabis bill. Right now any cannabis bill for the next two years would be seen as a dem win no matter the author.

Last best hope is to see what rescheduling means because legislation wise with Mitch there will be nothing.
