I'm impressed. Biden has said he is pardoning ALL Federal marijuana simple possession convictions, is encouraging all state governors to do the same with state cases, and is directing HHS and the AG to look at rescheduling MJ.

Kamala said they were going to federally decriminalize it.

I doubt she meant it but fingers crossed?

It would win them a LOT of votes.

e- There are so many bots sucking up to biden. Man people really do have goldfish brains.

e2- They just want you high so you can't think straight. :bonk:

e3- The hypocrisy of Biden who was a part of sending people to prison for cannabis, now saying how much harm it's done.

People are allowed to change for the better, but the irony is not lost. That being said, decriminalization and pardons of federal cases are about all the President can do until it's actually rescheduled. But it's a start, and LONG overdue.

I completely agree with this.

However,.. it feels like a publicity stunt. Just to rally the cannabis crowd in for votes.
Which is messed up because cannabis activists have been fighting for decades.
They'll take little wins where they can (like state legalization).
It's just a shame, As you said similarly, This wasn't done sooner.

Most millennials and gen z don't even know about it. And with how brainwashed they've been by media it's a big win in their eyes.
They didn't live through the 'woodstock' eras of hippies sitting around smoking reefer doing nothing all day.
Not to mention the blacks who were locked up over a single joint, even less than a gram. Or drugs planted on them by the racist police of the time. In part thanks to people like Joe Biden.

Gen X and Boomers know the truth about Biden's past.

----
enough time has passed, younger people don't know history as well as past generations. Pro Cannabis sentiment is blinding to the facts of the past.
