Making it schedule III still doesn’t help people who are arrested with it for federal drug charges, and makes recreational harder. Like someone in the article said, this feels like it’s a giveaway to big pharma. It’s not like there are recreational ketamine or testosterone dispensaries.
Oh well, I’ll just keep doing it illegally, getting more and more used to laws being stupid and overbearing, and hating the government even more.
If you have the option, maybe look @ moving to a blue state that is doing all it can to keep the crazies at bay and create human-centric societies.
Personally, it isn’t the most important thing to me, but I did vote for it to be legal and I am proud that I’m aligned with the majority of my neighbors on the issue!
Yeah, the federal law needs to be fixed.
In the meantime though, it is pretty unlikely that they would go after anyone.
Keep on following state / local laws and vote where you can to improve things at a federal level!
That is my plan anyway.
Biden is going to handle this like the Covid checks. Make a big promise hinging on the election and then under deliver. Then waste a couple years and make some executive memo bullshit that gets tied up in the courts. If he lives that long.
I want legal weed and more. Just saying Biden isn’t the guy to deliver.
They demand everything, and if they don’t get it, they stay home on election day, let Trump win, and let the world burn. Because that’s what a mature and reasonable person does. They stomp their feet, then snatch the ball away and go home.
Who is “they”? Because your hypothetical situation is the exact opposite of what happened in Biden v Trump. Plenty of “them” did turn out and vote for Biden even if he’s not their preferred candidate.
Seriously! Did they not realize that Biden tried to make good on the campaign promises but Congress didn’t want to go along?
Probably the same people who think the president controls gas prices with a big lever…

Moving to a different state wouldn’t change the fact I’m breaking federal law every day.
Right now, in fact.
Fuck the police.

Suppose he just shouldn’t try then huh? I guess doing nothing is what you prefer.

The amount of people who let perfect be the enemy of better is too damn high

Plenty of Lemmy users. They tend to announce themselves.
What if he was though?
What if you could pull up a website and punch a few keys in an Joe fucking Biden would show up at your door with a paper baggie full of marijuana?
“Heelo, I am Joeseph Biden. I haev a delivery for you of the Pot.”

Biden already did steps 1 and 2, and step 3 is in process. So far, Biden has made the most progress on weed legalization of all US presidents 🤷

I hate when people act like the president should act like/be a dictator.

I’ll take common sense measure that will all but guarantee Biden reelection.
