So wait for the rescheduling process to be completed. In the meantime, tell your state to decriminalize it so that once the feds are done people stop getting locked up for violating state laws.

Biden promised decriminalization…
That’s not rescheduling.
In the meantime, tell your state to decriminalize
…
Many states have laws that make anything on various schedules illegal, and don’t explicitly have laws against cannabis. If a drug is illegally federally, it’s illegal in those states.
Even if they got rid of their laws, you’re still wanting the federal government to tell states their laws override federal law.
You’re missing very basic information about this to be so opinionated.
Cannabis is illegal because it’s classified as a schedule I drug in regards to the controlled substances act. Rescheduling it is decriminalizing it.
There’s no reason for you to take this so personally. I’m criticizing your opinion, no need to get defensive.
Rescheduling it is decriminalizing it.
No, it’s not.
There’s no reason for you to take this so personally
Either you have no idea what you’re talking about about, or you’re willfully spreading misinformation…
You keep saying false things and insisting they’re true, and I keep linking your sources showing why your argument is wrong…
But all you do is make another false statement
The President can’t remove a substance from the Controlled Substances Act. Talk to your representative and senators.
Hey, I know that link…
Although the President may not unilaterally deschedule or reschedule a controlled substance, he does possess a large degree of indirect influence over scheduling decisions. The President could pursue the appointment of agency officials who favor descheduling, or use executive orders to direct DEA, HHS, and FDA to consider administrative descheduling of marijuana. The notice-and-comment rulemaking process would take time, and would be subject to judicial review if challenged, but could be done consistently with the CSA’s procedural requirements. In the alternative, the President could work with Congress to pursue descheduling through an amendment to the CSA.
It’s a good one, I know it sucks downloading a PDF, but you really should so you can read it.
Even the HHS secretary can’t just deschedule a drug on a whim. The HHS secretary has to present evidence that it shouldn’t be scheduled, and then the DEA has to get involved, and it requires input from the public and experts in the field.
The easier solution is for congress to amend the CSA. Putting the blame on Biden is disingenuous, especially given the fact that he’s trying to move things in the right direction.
So…
You disagree with the link you just provided?
Because I’m pretty sure they know more about what a president can do than either of us…
Like. You know that’s the Congressional Research Services you’re arguing with, right?
“Appoint officials who favor…”
“Direct to consider…”
Where does it say they can deschedule it on a whim?
