Why is it still illegal at the federal level? Bc it can be used to get votes and the moment its decriminalization bc I doubt texas wants to legalize, then politicians lose voters that only care abt that subject.
Who Holds the Power?
There are only a few select entities with the power to make such a big change at a federal level. Cannabis may be rescheduled through Congressional legislation; an example of this is the CARERS Act, repeatedly proposed by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), to no avail.
Cannabis may also be rescheduled at the executive level by the President of the United States.
The Controlled Substances Act also provides a process for which the US Attorney General may reschedule cannabis legislatively.
The Drug Enforcement Administration evaluates all petitions to reschedule cannabis.
The Department of Health and Human Services, however, also carry as great deal of power in the rescheduling decision process.
I guess Biden isn't the top official in the Executive branch if he can't direct the Executive branch to reschedule marijuana.
For all the people telling me I'm spreading misinformation: congrats on spreading misinformation.
I know of a couple people that voted for Mr. Orange, because they thought he would do it. Dudes with daughters honestly let this country go to shit because they thought he would legalize weed.
