Biden literally instructed the DEA to reschedule cannabis already. This kind of rulemaking requires actual policy studies, as the courts have repeatedly stated that it can't be done capriciously.

It's crazy how people know every fucking awful thing the government does but never the stuff they ostensibly support. I'll say it again - the biggest problem with progressive US politics is the cynicism and engagement gap

"Along with the pardons, Biden directed the HHS secretary and the attorney general to review how marijuana is scheduled"

You're just straight up lying. He hasn't done that at all. He's getting them to start thinking about it.

That is literally what they said, your link supports them lol

Progressive politics is when you just vibe how you feel about things, right?

I specifically said he could decriminalize it at the federal level today. He ordered for it to be looked at potentially, but it has not happened, and there is nothing that stops him from ordering it definitively right now.

The user I responded to specifically said that he already ordered the decriminalization of it.

Centrists consider thinking about doing something to be the same as doing it, and become very angry when people expect tangible results.

He directed them to look into it. That's not the same thing as telling them to reschedule it.
