WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris will hold the administration's first public event on marijuana reform this week after President Joe Biden addressed the issue as one of his priorities in last week's State of the Union address.
lmao
Is... am I going crazy or are people somehow not aware that the USAG, who serves at the pleasure of POTUS (Kamala's "boss" you could say), has the absolute authority, granted by congress, to reschedule drugs? Like literally the AG can just do that. Also the DoJ (also headed by POTUS) can choose to simply not enforce all federal level cannabis related laws. This isn't legalization, but it would be a step towards it. Once it's descheduled (or, likely, rescheduled although it shouldn't be scheduled at all) Biden could ask/demand Congress act and pass a full legislation law with no additional bullshit attached.
But just to be super clear, he can absolutely make changes unilaterally, right now, and at any second of the past 3 years+. So, Biden is choosing to keep weed schedule I despite claiming otherwise.
he can't just wave a magic wannnnnnddddddddddd!!!Unless it's to kill people around the workd
You really think marijuana legalization would happen under Trump?
Marijuana legalization and one more stimulus check for broad support and I'd totally agree.
what if somebody explains to him he could make a pile of money on trump brand (ditch) weed
isn't john boehner invested in that shit?
If they really gave a shit about humanity they would abolish drug scheduling entirely.
Democracy is when you have bureaucratic processes, though. If we went ahead and rescheduled weed without the approval of Congress, the FDA, the DEA, the House Ethics Committee, the Parliamentarian, the lobbyist horde, and the softline Republicans, we’d be no better than the russkies smh
Ok this is starting to make more sense now. Kamala is just on like 5 weed gummies at all times.
She’s like a jimmy buffet parrot head.
I saw him live once and he looked like he was gonna have a heart attack the entire time.
As someone who does not click the links to read the articles, I literally did not realize that Fat Joe is an actual person and not an imagined marijuana-friendly persona of Joe Biden until I read this comment.
Oh that's their strategy. Not even make weed federally legal no, just host a round table around it. Yes surely that will convince all the young folks who live in states where weed is already legal to come out and support your genocide. You cracked the code Dems
reform event
Was forming a committee too on the nose? They could could have given it acronym like TOKE or something. TOKE would stand for... you know the thing. And Fat Joe could use it to continue to build his political brand: "I'm TOKE-ing y'all." I think I'm asking a serious question - did he livestream the State of the Union? And does he have political aspirations? I can imagine his ads.
"...So - because I'm from the streets - I always obey the police. I'm Joseph Cartagena and I approve this message."
Democratic leadership suddenly caring about weed legislation? What is it, an election year or something?
"Vice president, what is your favorite weed?"
"uh... Thai Stick"
We all know Kamala smokes that dirt and calls it kush
Hey guys let's talk about not legalizing weed (at least not this term).
Harris will propose a study committee to consider a partial tax credit for woman owned small businesses that agree to open and maintain private prisons in underserved areas for at least 3 years. This will demonstrate her commitment to equity and elevating the voices of the BIPOC community.
God fucking damn this timeline.
I didn't ask for the orange fuhrer.
Sorry, mom says it's that or corpse fuhrer
...
...mom kind of fucking sucks:/
Listen up Fat Joe
in a fat suit
