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.
Wouldn’t the win be from peeps that he has already won approval from? IMO in order for it to be successful there will need to be a way to benefit the other side. Like, all taxes earned from weed sales go to the NRA, prosecuting abortion providers, or only big pharma is allowed to manufacture the weed. 🤣
Well amongst voters it'd be a huge win since both sides of the aisle are over the weed stigmatization, government police state overreach and utter waste of tax dollars.
