He doesn’t have a chance to do anything because he is the president, not a majority of congress.
He could blanket pardon marijuana offenders and direct the DEA to reschedule marijuana, or deschedule it altogether. He has the authority to do both.
Dude, he literally did BOTH of those thing 2 years ago… 🤦
The DEA was supposed to have rescheduled by now, but of course decided to slow-roll it until after the election. Now either Trump will cancel the rescheduling or take credit for it, both of which are fucking stupid ways for this to end.
Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes, and he does not have the power to deschedule anything. He has the power to ask the dea to request the scheduling be reconsidered.
Lincoln didn’t have a chance to end slavery either but found a way to get it done… even without immunity to do virtually anything, as an official act of the President, to compel cooperation.
Lincoln kind of ended slavery, but only in a territory he was at war with. He never actually did anything through standard political means. In fact he wasn’t even opposed to slavery, he just used abolition to help preserve the union. The true end of slavery in america occurred with a constitutional amendment.
What do you mean he never did anything? He was a key reason for that amendment. Also his position on it wasn’t so static, just look at what Fredrick Douglass had to say about him. Lincoln was a key catalyst for helping to move the country forward on slavery and to say otherwise really feels like postwar Confederate speak. He wasn’t perfect, but I’d struggle to think of anyone else I’d take over him as president at that time.
He was the best possible man to be president at that time, my point really is just that the president alone cannot make massive changes like that. I probably could have worded that better.
But to his point though, it is only through Lincoln’s actions that massive changed happened. If the Emancipation Proclamation isn’t given then there’s no way the 13th Amendment ever comes to pass, to say nothing of the immense lobbying effort he put into the passage of the amendment. There are plenty of things Biden could do right now that would cause Congress to have to act. As well as incrementally help actual Americans, something Biden has trouble if not doing then at least advertising.
Also it is completely and utterly inaccurate to say Lincoln wasn’t opposed to slavery. He said so many times. To suggest otherwise is a bald-faced lie
Grow your own, become ungovernable.
Grow your own, get arrested, go to jail, become unemployable.
You can grow indoors and as long as it’s personal use you’ll never get caught.
No. I say change trump before marijuana.
