It's about doing what is right, but waiting until it's most politically beneficial before doing it

[-] Cowlitz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Not really. I highly doubt it will be rescheduled prior to election when they are just talking about it now.

Liberal cope. Maybe in 2028, maybe in 2032, certainly he/she will need to utilize this card in 2036? Wait wait but what if they wanted to pull that shit in 2040?.. Fuck

Lol he's actually taken steps to reschedule it, I know you probably wish we were in a dictatorship where Biden could just say, "weed is now legal, Trump will now be put in jail, and top republicans are to be killed" but we don't live in that world thankfully. He started the process to reschedule marijuana in 2022, with the last update being from the DEA on December 2023 being that they are reviewing whether to reschedule marijuana and what to reschedule it as. I assume if Biden just signed an executive order to change it, it would have been held up in the courts and probably overturned because of not going through a formal process ( imagine if Biden could just unilaterally make fentanyl street legal).

Genuinely cute you think Biden of all people would even reclassify let alone decriminalize 🤣

[-] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

That's literally the process he's going to now. Not to mention it's actually beneficial for him politically. It's pretty sad how little you know about politics, yet you feel the need to discuss it.
