minus-square@gAlienLifeformOPlink4•1 month ago Biden could have executive ordered cannabis reform/ legalization Yeah, he absolutely could and should have done what Democratic lawmakers asked him to do and gone with descheduling, but he’s a shitty old drug war soldier down to his bones. Harris, for better and worse, is a team player who will always back up her bosses (even when they make shitty decisions), but when she was running her own campaign in 2020 she supported full legalization, so there’s at least some reason to be hopeful.
