Democrats Make Last Plea to Biden to Change Marijuana Law Before Trump
Progressive lawmakers are urging President Biden to rewrite marijuana law—and save Americans from prison—while he still has the chance.
He doesn't have a chance to do anything because he is the president, not a majority of congress.
He could blanket pardon marijuana offenders and direct the DEA to reschedule marijuana, or deschedule it altogether. He has the authority to do both.
Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, and he does not have the power to deschedule anything. He has the power to ask the dea to request the scheduling be reconsidered.
Dude, he literally did BOTH of those thing 2 years ago... 🤦
The DEA was supposed to have rescheduled by now, but of course decided to slow-roll it until after the election. Now either Trump will cancel the rescheduling or take credit for it, both of which are fucking stupid ways for this to end.
Lincoln didn't have a chance to end slavery either but found a way to get it done... even without immunity to do virtually anything, as an official act of the President, to compel cooperation.
Lincoln kind of ended slavery, but only in a territory he was at war with. He never actually did anything through standard political means. In fact he wasn't even opposed to slavery, he just used abolition to help preserve the union. The true end of slavery in america occurred with a constitutional amendment.
Grow your own, become ungovernable.
Grow your own, get arrested, go to jail, become unemployable.
You can grow indoors and as long as it's personal use you'll never get caught.
No. I say change trump before marijuana.
