Need to decriminalize it on a federal level. It’s still “Schedule One”, with the likes of heroine, meth, cocaine

thank you.

this theatrical shyt doesn't actually solve the core problem

this geriatric cac is still not getting votes for this :unimpressed:

I would like to see this, but he's afraid to do it obviously smh.


Umm, Biden is removing it from Schedule 1 too:


Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services proposed this week to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, which the government defines as having a “moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.” Other drugs in that category include anabolic steroids, ketamine and codeine mixed with aspirin or acetaminophen.

The recommendation still needs approval from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, an arm of Biden’s Justice Department, and then would go through regulatory review and public comment before taking effect, probably sometime next year. It could be changed, in either direction, by rules adopted by a future administration.

Meanwhile, Adderall is still a schedule II drug :francis:

But seriously, this is a massive step towards decriminalization. Like I said, it's chess not checkers. If you think Presidents *should* have broad power to change settled law, you actually want a dictatorship. I'm cool on that.

Why not decriminalize it nationwide and THEN pardon everyone locked up for it...:beli: this changes nothing if you keep it on the books... This is a hail Mary for black voter support we see through the ruse genocide joe :beli:
Why not just decriminalize it federally instead of tiptoeing around in an effort to win over voters? :unimpressed:


Because the president can't decriminalize it federally, laws are set by Congress, not by the President. He's been trying to push decriminalization since he came to office, got the Democrats to pass it when they controlled the House, but Senate Republicans blocked it.


Joe Biden supports decriminalizing marijuana, a Biden campaign spokesman told CNN, but the former vice president isn’t going as far as calling for the drug to be legalized on the federal level.

“Nobody should be in jail for smoking marijuana,” Biden told voters at a Tuesday house party in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Asked by CNN if the former vice president supports legalizing marijuana, Andrew Bates, a Biden campaign spokesman, said Biden believes the drug should be decriminalized and that decisions on legalization should continue on the state level.

“As he said [Tuesday], Vice President Biden does not believe anyone should be in jail simply for smoking or possessing marijuana. He supports decriminalizing marijuana and automatically expunging prior criminal records for marijuana possession, so those affected don’t have to figure out how to petition for it or pay for a lawyer,” Bates said in a statement to CNN.

“He would allow states to continue to make their own choices regarding legalization and would seek to make it easier to conduct research on marijuana’s positive and negative health impacts by rescheduling it as a schedule 2 drug,” he added.



"Measures to reduce or eliminate restrictions have been rejected in Congress, most recently last year, when Biden first called for reclassifying the drug. Legislation to decriminalize cannabis won approval in the House, then controlled by Democrats, but died in the Senate."

Cool for who ever it helps
But they need to pardon who ever is in jail for selling it too
At least states where it’s legal should be considering that. Governors and mayors having press releases with middle aged cacs who got marijuana licenses is wild if your state jails are full of black people who got caught selling

"It does not apply to individuals who have been jailed for selling the drug, which is illegal under federal law, or other marijuana offenses such as driving under the influence of an illegal substance"




:devil:
:evil:



People who were convicted for dealing drugs or driving under the influence should be pardoned on a case-by-case basis, not just blindly. It's only user/possession convictions that should automatically be eliminated across the board.

But that's just my opinion. :manny:

Yall don’t understand, unless the legislation specifically states it benefits black people only then this is not worth praise.

Uh…no

*FOUNDATIONAL* black Americans

Who are not with interracial blood or in a interracial relationships/marriage.

THEN and only then does it count as helping black people.

Dudes be thinking Biden can hit a button and weed is decriminalized everywhere

Biden can hit a button and now gas is 2 dollars

It’s crazy how many people do not understand how the government works

And you don’t want that anyway, that’s how dictators prosper

Breh you do know it’s other branches of government that will block that like the 94 cowboys offensive line right?


The way it’s set up the speaker of the house that’s a super evangelical will NOT bring it to vote


But I’m sure you know that right?
