Guessing weed business would boom, and government gain a tonne of tax, which Trump would take credit for.
So no. Can’t see him doing it.
They’re not calling for hi m to legalize it, the letter they wrote is asking him to reschedule it from a schedule 1 drug to a schedule 3 drug. Still can’t see him doing it.
Big tax cash cow here in Canada, that’s for sure.
Entertainingly only really for the federal government. Of all the provinces only Alberta and PEI have broke even or made anymoney.
Not saying there is not potential tax revenues, just that right now most provinces spend more then they collect for one (corruption) reason or another (needing to be seen being “tough” on drugs).
Good old “Nothing will fundamentally change” Joe.
Hey now at least he helped start a genocide.
What a legacy.
Helped…start…hrmmmmmm
thank you for starting one in America too.
Ah yes, the people calling out the democrats for facilitating genocide are responsible for the democrats loss. If nobody called them out, genocide would have been extremely popular.
Of course, if we had the power to sway the election, I wonder why the democrats didn’t just listen to us and stop facilitating genocide.
theres a lot of centrists who say they will never forgive those who didnt vote. I’m not sure I’ll ever forgive centrists for not standing up to be counted in the uncommitted primary vote. Biden would have won anyway and it would have cost them nothing at all to do. Somehow they couldnt be bothered.
slavers gonna slave
that is our legacy
They say Biden, I hear complicit.
It’s amazing how a being without a spine sat in the White House chair for four years without falling over.
He was never going to do it and never will.
Do what? Pardon people from state crimes, which he cannot do. Or write legislation making marijuana legal, which he can’t do?
The reason charges for drugs are different in every state is because they are state laws, tried by those states.
Reschedule. Plain and simple
How?
The HHS is a deciding factor with set rules created by Congress. To change it would be invalid and blocked by any judge before going into effect. Destroying the credibility of what was occuring and killing it in its tracks when it could otherwise finish. Trump doesn’t want to stop that, neither does Kennedy (Pretty sure he’s for it)
Except it is still federally illegal so the FBI DEA can arrest and charge you. So far presidents have basicslly ignored it. But doesn’t mean a future administration well.
Yeah, that’s why Biden started the process of having them re-evaluate what it was scheduled as. But to make it legal, the legislative branch has to write the legislation.
All the executive branch is supposed to do is execute legislation.
Those orders being what is written by the peoples representatives (Congressmen and senators).
Right now either:
A: the majority of Americans don’t want marijuana legal and that’s why it’s illegal.
B. The representatives are not representing what the people want.
If the second one is true, it is our civic responsibility to vote those representatives out of office.
In 2020 and 2022 the decriminalization of it was voted on. If this is an issue you believe is misrepresented, every member of congress that voted against what you want you should want removed.
Then we need to look at the Senate and vote against every member who voted against it as well.
That’s how the peoples voices are supposed to be heard. Is it the best system, no. But it’s what we have and we don’t have enough people wanting to change it.
Anything Biden could do, could easily be undone by Trump.
I want the US to take back their production of Hemp
The time to do that really would have been before the election… He did reschedule it, but that can be undone day one. I honestly think the fascist voters would credit Trump. I’ve heard them say “already things are getting better” with no hint of irony.
Anything that will be done can be undone. It doesn’t matter if he legalizes it federally, that shits going back to full ban day one
Not entirely sure that a major majority of Republicans are against it.
Dems really somehow let the Republicans become the anti establishment party in less than 20 years after GW, while run an idiot who failed upwards because of inherited wealth…
I kept saying the last three elections were like Brewster’s Millions, but as much money as the wealthy throw at both parties, it might be time to question if they’re just paying the Dems to lose. And even when they do manage to win, it’s at best Joe Biden.
Not even saying the DNC is being paid to take a fall. Just that the donors throwing crazy money at primaries know that the neoliberal doesn’t have a chance in the general.
They just don’t want anyone that will fix shit getting close to a general election. So they make sure the Dem in the general is one the vast majority of Dem voters hate.
That doesn’t much matter when the psychotic theocrats are going to be the ones in the positions of power
I disagree. Ultimately, republicans want 3 things: money, power, and exclusivity. If they can somehow make tons of money off marijuana when no one else can, they would be all for it. Basically they perpetually want Rules for Thee Not for Me.
So maybe they would revert it, but if they could find a way to make it theirs only, they would.
If they can somehow make tons of money off marijuana when no one else can, they would be all for it
That’s in fact precisely what John “crying orange leather face” Boehner did
It would have to generate more money than the associated prison sentences generate, and the value of slave labor is about to skyrocket.
Anything that will be done can be undone
trump cant recharge pardoned people. And he cant recreate purged and deleted records. He also cant retake equipment thats been given to partners on a 4 year lease.
But then the democrats couldn’t dangle it in front of us next election.
We are still working on legalizing abortion with a simple law after 50 years. These things take time.
It doesn’t take time. It takes balls and neither party has em
Biden was 6 when Reefer Madness came out. I doubt he understands it in a modern context.
I worry that they’ll just open a can of worms and fuck up our farm bill access.
Democrats, the reason we lost is that we didn’t singularly campaign to Republicans in Detroit. That is the only deciding vote. 20 Republicans in Detroit. In 2028 it is TANTAMOUNT that we knock on 1 Republican door in Pennsylvania and 15 doors in Detroit.
* paramount
Uh it’s pronounced “Paramount+”, thanks
TAUNTAUN
Biden, smiling as he puts on shades and eats ice cream: “No. Peace, I’m out.”
I mean, everyone said he was too old to do the job.
Isn’t it already ruled he has presidential immunity? Why isn’t he doing more? I understand he has some time but like… I hope there’s at least a “welcome package” for trump. I have no faith in anything anymore
Its only immune if the supreme court deems it an official act. This court will not give him the same leeway as they will Trump.
Yeah. All faith in democrats wanting to do the BAREST MINIMUM to make a difference is flat out gone. Both sides apparently want the poor dead or in prison. Republicans are just gonna make it happen faster.
