It was the first time either Chamber of Congress has voted to end the federal ban on marijuana since the drug was listed as a controlled substance in 1970 15 U.

States and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational use of marijuana, and over 30 states allow some form of the drug for medicinal purposes.

各州和哥倫比亞特區已將大麻的娛樂性使用合法化，30多個州允許將某種形式的藥物用於醫療目的。

But the federal ban on the drug persists, which creates conflicts with state laws and limits cannabis companies access to banking services and funding.

但聯邦對該藥物的禁令仍然存在，這與各州法律產生了衝突，並限制了大麻公司獲得銀行服務和資金。

The cannabis bill would expunge federal marijuana convictions and impose a 5% tax on cannabis products.

大麻法案將取消聯邦大麻定罪，並對大麻產品徵收5%的稅。

The revenue raised would help reinvest in communities most adversely impacted by enforcement of the law, said Representative Earl Blumenauer, a Democrat from Oregon and co chairman of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus.

來自俄勒岡州的民主黨人和國會大麻核心小組聯合主席Earl Blumenauer代表說，所籌集的收入將有助於重新投資於受執法影響最不利的社區。

We're here because we have failed three generations of black and brown young people whose lives can be ruined or lost by selective enforcement of these laws.

我們在這裡是因為我們辜負了三代黑人和棕色的年輕人，他們的生活可能會因為這些法律的選擇性執行而被毀掉或失去。

This legislation will end that disaster.

這項立法將結束這種災難。

Representative Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee voted in favor of the bill, saying on Twitter Friday, Quote.

來自加利福尼亞州的民主黨人、眾議院情報委員會主席亞當-希夫（Adam Schiff）代表對該法案投了贊成票，他週五在Twitter上表示，引。

Decriminalization makes our justice system more fair.

非刑罪化使我們的司法系統更加公平。

The Democratic majority House voted 228 to 164 largely along party lines toe lift the federal prohibition.

民主黨佔多數的眾議院以228票對164票的投票結果，主要是根據黨派路線來取消聯邦禁令。

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, is an opponent of the change, meaning a decriminalization proposal is unlikely to see Senate action.

但參議院多數黨領袖、共和黨人米奇-麥康奈爾(Mitch McConnell)是這一變革的反對者，這意味著非刑罪化提案不太可能在參議院採取行動。

That's unless Democrats managed to win both Georgia Senate seats and with them Senate control in a January 5th runoff election.

除非民主黨人在1月5日的第二輪選舉中成功地贏得了佐治亞州參議院的兩個席位，並隨之贏得了參議院的控制權。
