The U.S. House of Representatives voted Friday to decriminalize possession of marijuana on the federal level.
The House heard a slew of proposed amendments for the bill, including measures to track and prevent impaired driving under the influence of marijuana, as well as carve-outs for law enforcement to restructure around the decriminalized substance. The bill passed with a vote of 220 to 204.
Three Republicans voted yes: Matt Gaetz of Florida, Tom McClintock of California, and Brian Mast of Florida. Two Democrats voted no: Chris Pappas of New Hampshire and Henry Cuellar of Texas.
