This thread demonstrates the idealogical purism and lack of pragmatic political expectations from leftists and progressives. There is literally nothing the Biden admin can do that will ever be enough because it doesn’t match some rosy fucking dreamland that only lives in your heads. Descheduling is huge, and signals the end of 100 years of madness with cannabis laws. If you want more, then we need to have more legislative power to implement it.

This is a fucking win, dumbasses.

Under Nixon, yes THAT Nixon, Congress wanted to pass UBI, but Democrats voted it down thinking it didn’t offer enough cash…

Even though common sense would tell you that establishing a UBI and raising it would be easier than getting a good paying UBI out of the gate

This is dumb. You’ve got thousands of recreational dispensaries all over the country. States are pretty much operating in violation of federal law already because the federal law is so out of touch. Maybe change the law to be more in line with what states are actually doing?

Do we get to wait another 50 years before they make recreational marijuana legal?

I don’t even smoke weed and I think this is dumb.

What you are suggesting is a legislative action. The nation needs to provide enough legislative power to happen.

The DEA has authority to schedule marijuana, it doesn’t require legislation.
