If Biden reschedules (or even better legalizes — I know this is a larger challenge legally) cannabis and takes a harder stance against Israel, I think he would win most of the key states he needs to win the election. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, Arizona, and to a lesser degree Georgia will determine this election. The rest of the states are locked in. A 1% swing can mean the difference to prevent a dictatorship.

If Biden ended the war on drugs it would nearly completely clench at least his party's re-election, probably swing the congress on over too.

I'll bet good money that if he tries it it'll be closer to August

Because you fucking know it's gonna get challenged and that the Supreme Court is gonna be all brow furrowey trying to invent a reason why it's unconstitutional to not pursue a drug policy based in exactly zero medical science.

At least if it's near the election the topic will still be fresh by the time SCOTUS chooses that laws are for binding Democrats and protecting Republicans.

I wonder if marijuana news paper dot com has any bias slant towards marijuana

Oh they’re going to put this carrot in front of us again?

C'mon Dank Brandon!

"Breaking News: Polls show that if Biden were better, more people would like him."

JUST STOP FUNDING THE ISRAEL CONFLICT.

Ah yes, because it's not about doing what is right, it's about political gain. Fuck america so so much.

Could legal weed save America from becoming a fascist dystopia under Trump? Headline of the century.

People are funny.

Biden will probably get this done. He said he was going to, seems like the administrative steps to do so are happening.

But here's what will happen: the Supreme Court is getting ready to shred another longstanding precedent known as the Chevron Doctrine. Without Chevron, any federal court will be able to enjoin any action of any federal agency just by saying that the agency's interpretation of the statute, even though it's reasonable, isn't what Congress really intended. In other words, agencies will no longer be able to regulate much of anything because corporations will just file a lawsuit in some backwards ass federal court district and the judge's interpretation of the statute will carry more weight than the agency that administers the statute.

That's the Republican plan, here. They give half a shit about DEA administrative scheduling, they can't wait to destroy the FCC, SEC, IRS, EPA, FTC, FEC, etc. If the DEA reschedules cannabis, and the Republicans cannot lock up enough black and brown people, they will judge shop until they find one to say doing so isn't what Congress intended with cannabis prohibition statutes, and enjoin the rescheduling.

I hope Republicans get behind it and reap benefits too. Rescheduling shouldn't end up another political victim like health care was.

Yeah, people like weed way more than they like Biden.

They legalised cannibis in NY and now my 79 year old mother is getting high at parties. Thanks Obama.

Rescheduling is a far cry from legalizing. It really shouldn't matter that much to voters unless he legalizes.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me; “dozens of young White House staffers” freshly hired were abruptly told to quit, were suspended from their jobs, or otherwise punished “due to past marijuana use.”

The presidential debate should be two candidates chilling and smoking a blunt

Those likely voters will get stoned forget to vote /s

How sad that of all the reasons to support the candidate who isn't a raging fascist, this is the one people care about the most?

Like...yeah, marijuana is great, but holy shit there's a lot more important things going on in the world.

Every politician says they will legalize weed if it gets them votes. No politician will ever actually legalize it though because then they lose one of their biggest platforms to draw voters. The single-minded boomer vote also disappears if he does legalize it.
