>“I cannot emphasize enough that they need to get to it as quickly as possible,” Harris said. “We need to have a resolution based on their findings and their assessment. This issue is stark when one considers the fact that on the schedule currently, marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin ― as dangerous as heroin ― and more dangerous than fentanyl, which is absurd, not to mention patently unfair.”
Should’ve been rescheduled a while ago, states that legalize and tax then use those funds for good things have the right idea

And tax $$$$ !
Until they take an efficacious approach the DEA will not reschedule
It should be descheduled, not rescheduled. Rescheduling is a trap
It’s pretty weird that some states offer cannabis commercially and other states give people a record and lock them up for years. I think the law should be uniform when it comes to people’s freedom to consume cannabis, the same way they’re allowed to consume nicotine or alcohol.
200 years too late but I’ll take it
Didn’t she laugh about how many people she’d sent to prison for weed?
Legalized in Canada five years ago. Despite conservative promises, society failed to fall apart.
Didn’t Clinton say something similar like 30 years ago?
There’s already a dispensary on every corner. Fucking ridiculous that it’s illegal.
It’s such low hanging fruit, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet.
Obviously the push for rescheduling is to score points politically, but I’m ok with that.
It’s time.
Better late than never.
Step 3
100% will be rescheduled in october.
This is the WH strategy for winning the young lefty voters they’re losing. “I don’t like Joe, but Kamala gets a lot of things right…”
You gotta allow marijuana businesses to have access to banks like other businesses.
How bout we reschedule it….off of the schedule
Good idea – maybe she knows someone who could do something about it?
Please
Democrats should do things and then people would vote for them.
They need to release all non-violent drug offenders from prison and make room for inevitable 2024 insurrectionists
FINALLY! WEED + LEGAL ABORTION + GUN CONTROL IS A 100% TICKET.
If only she were in a position to have some influence over that. 🤔
I’m a flaming liberal but this has felt like a dangling carrot for some time. Enough bullshit already
My question is…..what took so damn long?? I don’t even smoke, but it’s stupid that it’s still criminal. Plus it would help Biden’s base, especially younger people.
It’s the same with all of Trump’s cases, all coming up last year. I’m sure there were good reasons for that, but it looks pretty bad for a lot of this stuff to come up during the election year. I genuinely don’t think cases were delayed to help Biden, but I certainly understand why Republicans think that. Plus, if these cases get delayed up until the election, and Trump wins, he’ll get off Scot free.
What a hypocrite… she’s the one that put folks in jail for it years ago
It’s low hanging fruit and has been forever. They’ll use it when it’s politically convenient, like abortion. Nevermind the people rotting in prison. They, as the executive, have the authority to deal with this.
One pen. One paper. One stroke.
It’s that fucking easy.
How about we focus on getting Biden reelected?
They are buying the younger votes. They fucked up the Gaza Genocide stuff by doing and saying nothing, They all agreed to shut down TikTok because you crazy kids were siding with the wrong guys, so they are giving the young voters weed to dull the pain. Bread and Entertainment while Rome burns.
Pump those pot stocks before election time! Buy, buy, buy…
Biden really wants to get this under his belt before the election.
“Not only do I think Marijuana should be legalized… I think it should be mandatory”

About damn time. Better drive that message home the next 6 months. Repeat repeat repeat! Even though I no longer use the devils lettuce.
Hmmm. That’s a weird way to say “removed from the schedule completely.”
Once a prosecutor always a prosecutor…
she’s a former prosecutor so that’s pretty big. I wish it would have been descheduled alltogether but that’s pretty cool the US vice president is openly calling for this.
Big ups to Fat Joe
Far too late. They should have done this when Biden took office. Hell, Obama should have done it. I don’t even care if they legalized, it NEEDED to be rescheduled just to be investigated for medicinal purposes from the very start.
Boomers need to go away so we can finally get government aligned with our actual beliefs.
It’s always in election years when liars start BSing us. Unfortunately lib-maga love lies and ignoring the ppl they hurt 😒
This is not good enough. Schedule III still puts this in the same category as Ketamine and Anabolic steroids. Marijuana should be rescheduled and treated the same way as alcohol.
The same articles appear every election year where they dangle marijuana reform in front of potential voters in hopes to stay in power. When will the government realize this is not a partisan issue and should be dealt with accordingly. A majority of Americans believe in marijuana reform.
Kamala’s throwing a party AND EVERYONE IS INVITED.
