  1. Cue the “he’s just doing this to get votes!” People

  2. It’s about time. In the decades since Nixon began the War On Drugs as a way to remove voting rights from brown people and young people, America has become a nation of for profit prisons, with a majority of those prisoners doing time for non-violent drug crimes.

  8. More civil unrest = democrats actually doing what they promise. I’m all for it

  9. Thank goodness for that. I’d prefer broad legalization but this is a good step forward.

  10. I believe this also means that, in legal states, landlords can no longer use “marijuana possession” as a loophole to evict HCV tenants..? As in, arguing that it’s illegal federally so therefore the tenant is “violating the fundamental rules of the program” and can be evicted.

  12. I feel like they should have done this exactly ten days ago. 😀

  13. This is good but keeping it on DEA schedule still has federal laws and to hell with those in MN and other legal states they can go eff off lol!!

  15. Finally lol this has taken far too long to do

    The writing was already on the wall with over half the states making it fully legal and nearly all 50 states having it decriminalized or medicinally legal in some way. Last I checked there were only like 6 states where it was still fully illegal.

  16. Dark Brandon must have had a joint session with his staff to come to this conclusion.

  17. I wonder what this means for Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association testing requirements.
    As of now if you are a commercial drivers license holder, you are required to be in a pool for random urine testing and marijuana is a fail.

    What we need, is a test that can show if you are under the influence, not that you smoked last week to play some video games or fall asleep..

  21. Republicans are all about states rights. When it’s convenient of course.

  22. And Greg Abbott is probably going to make it a capital offense in Texas.

  25. This dude keeps killing it. Please make me proud America and vote him in again.

  26. Regardless how anyone feels about Biden, this is a win for America. Just because he’s not perfect (or Obama/Trump) doesn’t mean he’s not on the right side of this one. lol.

  27. Don’t get too excited. The DEA is easing it for medical purposes only and reclassifying it a notch down, but they are refusing to legalize it for recreational purposes. This needs to be taking off the schedule list period, but Biden and his team are getting push back from the higher ups over the DEA.

  29. Here’s your choice for November:

    Option 1:

    Biden and we get to move the needle a little further in the correct direction and get closer to libs being the only conservatives.

    Option 2:

    Trump and his reelection not only making the genocide happen faster in Palestine, but marching US troops to help and rolling back any sort of progress made in the last 4 years under minority obstruction.
