Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process

    I mean, she’s currently the vice president and supposedly the president and her have the same agenda. So, why don’t they just legalize it right now? Why hold it hostage behind an unsure election? Surely actually legalizing it would gain the votes of anyone who would vote yes because she said she’d do it later.

      Because the power of the president is not absolute.

      They don’t agree on it. Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process. It’s not instant executive order to reschedule. The law lays out a rather long process, but we’re nearly at the end of it at this point
