It definitely needs to be decriminalized but that’ll actually take an act of Congress. Public pressure needs to be applied but let’s not pretend Biden can do this on his own
Fun fact:
Biden has already pardoned thousands of people with marijuana convictions. Asking him to pardon EVERYONE when they may have had marijuana as a minor add-on to other criminal charges is a bit silly of an ask.
Biden doesn't run the DEA and can't force them to reschedule the drug. This is almost as dumb as the conservatives saying Biden needs to do something about border security then not being upset the Republicans have voted against every effort to do something about border security before it makes it to Biden's desk.
*the number of people in this country who think the President is a dictator and can literally just make up laws on his own is terrifying.
Is this something that he can just make happen with an executive order or does he need approval from the rest of the government? Can't really be upset about things that he can't simply snap a finger and make happen.
I remember something around when he pardoned federal weed offenses related to him saving a bigger play on this for a date closer to the "attention span of voters who care about this" range
I don't know how likely it is but I know it'd be fucking hilarious to watch Republicans start blaming Trump losing on the weed vote.
Democrats when Democrats don't use their powers to do what they promised: "Um akshully it has to pass congress and guess what all dem republicans are blocking the bills so really biden's hands are tied and it's your fault for not voting enough"
Also Democrats: "lmao lets shove thousands of bombs to Israel and run security defense exercises against the Houthis without congressional approval"
Meanwhile Republicans: "executive privilege and unconstitutional orders go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
It's fucking insane how many "moderate" Biden supporters are blaming red states for not just ignoring federal law...
Like, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
The decades of this bullshit "solution" is going to come back and bite us in the ass when it's used as precedent to say state laws matter more than federal.
Anyone that claims the current SC wouldn't go along with this has to be willfully naive, like, you can't make that suggestion unless you haven't went a single thought past "defend Biden at all costs".
And that's why the modern Republican party is so fucked up.
