Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I want the US to take back their production of Hemp
Biden was 6 when Reefer Madness came out. I doubt he understands it in a modern context.
But then the democrats couldn't dangle it in front of us next election.
We are still working on legalizing abortion with a simple law after 50 years. These things take time.
It doesn’t take time. It takes balls and neither party has em
Democrats, the reason we lost is that we didn’t singularly campaign to Republicans in Detroit. That is the only deciding vote. 20 Republicans in Detroit. In 2028 it is TANTAMOUNT that we knock on 1 Republican door in Pennsylvania and 15 doors in Detroit.

Uh it’s pronounced “Paramount+”, thanks

Good old "Nothing will fundamentally change" Joe.
They say Biden, I hear complicit.
It's amazing how a being without a spine sat in the White House chair for four years without falling over.
Hey now at least he helped start a genocide.
What a legacy.
Guessing weed business would boom, and government gain a tonne of tax, which Trump would take credit for.
So no. Can't see him doing it.
They're not calling for hi m to legalize it, the letter they wrote is asking him to reschedule it from a schedule 1 drug to a schedule 3 drug. Still can't see him doing it.
Big tax cash cow here in Canada, that's for sure.
Entertainingly only really for the federal government. Of all the provinces only Alberta and PEI have broke even or made anymoney.
Not saying there is not potential tax revenues, just that right now most provinces spend more then they collect for one (corruption) reason or another (needing to be seen being "tough" on drugs).
Crime Bill Biden ran out the clock on purpose. He never had any intention to reschedule cannabis.
NONE.
The only meaningful change for this would be via legislation, otherwise trump can just as easily undo it the same day.
Edit: looks like the process is much more complicated and actually Biden already started the process at the beginning of this year (April): https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/update-deas-efforts-reschedule-cannabis-what-you-need-know-2024-09-11/ , I don't understand this article
Edit 2: the letter is actually asking him to try to hurry the process up (the article from September that I linked says there supposed to be hearing scheduled this Monday (Dec 2nd)). It is very misleading (as you can see from the comments), because it implies Biden is just ignoring this issue completely.

Trump can just undo it anyway. What's the point. And saying that's not how its done is pointless cause they don't play by the rules.
He actually started the process to review what it was scheduled as to get it changed in 2022. It like everything else surrounding our government takes forever.

Biden, smiling as he puts on shades and eats ice cream: "No. Peace, I'm out."

Isn't it already ruled he has presidential immunity? Why isn't he doing more? I understand he has some time but like... I hope there's at least a "welcome package" for trump. I have no faith in anything anymore
Yeah. All faith in democrats wanting to do the BAREST MINIMUM to make a difference is flat out gone. Both sides apparently want the poor dead or in prison. Republicans are just gonna make it happen faster.
Its only immune if the supreme court deems it an official act. This court will not give him the same leeway as they will Trump.
