Fresco 1,688 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Good decision. There is no way marijuana should be schedule 1. The DEA should not be making this decision, because they will probably fear budget cuts. They only allowed research on the bad effects for years. Low dose thc is legal in my state now and so far nothing horrible has happened, that I am aware of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarstruckIllusion 53,563 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Wow… I truly didn’t expect him to do this bc seemed so ideologically against this. Dark Brandon you will always be famous We have to thank Biden for being open minded, and the tireless efforts of those who pushed him left to do things people wanted. I hope this is enough to keep the majorities in congress bc there’s still so much to do EDIT: He’s not legalizing, just decriminalizing, as he’s hinted to before. Still a very big move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While republicans are favored to win the house, it really is a tossup with control going to be decided by a 1% margin in a tiny handful of seats If Dems lose the house we can fully blame Nancy Pelosi for this and I’d be at the front lines. From tanking BBB, the Taiwan mess, to recently fumbling the Stock Trade bag (apparently on purpose)… she’s just a terrible leader. Sadly, everyone next in line seems worse. Biden’s clearly doing everything he can to save the dems and while he should have done more way sooner, at least he’s finally awake at the table unlike other leaders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But decriminalizing it will go a long way to getting it legalized state by state! This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they'll touch distribution related charges. It's political suicide, especially while we're in a crime wave.

Yeah i get that, but it’s very unfortunate because you can catch distribution charges for as little as having a small scale with you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
