DEA to reclass marijuana to Schedule III(apnews.com)

Third, I am asking the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to initiate the administrative process to review expeditiously how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

That’s the extent of what the president can do.

The president can make a public statement saying “I believe that marijuana should not be a scheduled drug”.

The president can appoint a DEA administrator who is on record saying that they believe cannabis should not be a scheduled drug.

He did neither of those things, and you claimed that he did. Maybe scroll up if you forgot. Either back the claim or stop replying.

Ah, I see. You’re determined to be upset, so you won’t accept “gave the only legal order towards what you want”, and instead want a public statement of “legalize it”, and “decriminalize it” isn’t enough. Same for the DEA administrator.
