The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services is recommending that the Drug Enforcement Agency significantly loosen federal restrictions on marijuana but stopped short of advising that it should be entirely removed from the Controlled Substances Act.
The health agency wants the drug moved from Schedule I to Schedule III under the CSA, potentially the biggest change in federal drug policy in decades.
HHS Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine wrote in a Tuesday letter to the DEA, first reported by Bloomberg News, that the recommendation was based on a review conducted by the Food and Drug Administration.
Legalize it completely, you pussy. I swear… This guy sucks so hard. I voted for him, but what a waste to have him running in the first place as the democratic candidate.
He is objectively the most left pres we’ve had in decades. Big sweeping changes don’t happen overnight. This is a step in the right direction. Get some pert
He had some of his white house staff fired over weed use, we’re lucky someone finally talked some sense into him over cannabis reform.
“Someone” = internal pollsters who showed him that this would make him a lot more popular.
You know he has no authority to do that right? It takes a bill from Congress, which for some reason will not touch the issue. He’s not a dictator, he can’t wave a magical wand and declare it legal. The president (little p, it goes for any of them) gets too much blame (and credit) for these things. Like when everyone blamed him for gas prices like he goes to each gas station and sets the price…
So, you think voting for a Republican or not voting would get the job done to legalize marijuana? Lol.
Also, these things require congressional approval. And guess what…yup…Republicans are blocking.
