The Senate’s majority leader, Harry Reid, said Thursday that lawmakers should ease their opposition to medical marijuana, telling The Las Vegas Sun, “I think we need to take a real close look at this.”
With his comments, Mr. Reid becomes one the highest-ranking American officials to come out in favor of easing federal marijuana laws, and his remarks are likely to heighten the debate over whether and how to do so. But when he was asked about the decisions in Colorado and Washington State to legalize the use of the drug for recreational use, he said, “I don’t know about that.”
