Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process
Believe it when it happens, until then it’s just a carrot
I mean Biden has already started the process for rescheduling weed to schedule 3 for medical legalization. Process is long but it’s at the tail end with the final hearing in December. It’s not too hard to see Harris just using the same process but asking for full descheduling rather than asking them for schedule 3. Or if Dems get a trifecta, she could also try to get congress to legalize directly in law (faster than the executive branch only action)
Will this include pardons for the millions of people currently in prison for weed possession?
IIRC, Biden did this already happened. But most people in prison for weed are imprisoned under state law, not Federal, so he can’t do anything about them.
Good question. I wonder how that would jibe with Kop-mala.
I just wish they would shut the fuck up and legalize it everywhere.
The hemp laws that try to define THC preach effectively legalized delta-8 everywhere and give enough plausible deniability that possession isn’t a crime anywhere so long as you learn to say “that’s hemp”
and legalize it everywhere
That’s what she’s essentially saying she wants to do, no?
I mean, she’s currently the vice president and supposedly the president and her have the same agenda. So, why don’t they just legalize it right now? Why hold it hostage behind an unsure election? Surely actually legalizing it would gain the votes of anyone who would vote yes because she said she’d do it later.
They don’t agree on it. Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process. It’s not instant executive order to reschedule. The law lays out a rather long process, but we’re nearly at the end of it at this point
I mean, she’s currently the vice president and supposedly the president and her have the same agenda. So, why don’t they just legalize it right now?
Because the power of the president is not absolute.
