As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

    I’m sorry, but if you can’t accept legalization of cannabis without a public apology, I would say “letting the perfect be the enemy of the good” is exactly the right phrase to use.

      You’re right, no one really cares about a public apology. Just like this entire story, it’s only words.

      What really matters is advocacy for those nonviolent drug “offenders”. They deserve release from jail, an end to probation, an expungement of criminal records, and reparations for the losses they suffered.

      Kamala issuing a pro-legalization press release is the path of least resistance for her. If she actually stood on principle she would advocate to expunge the criminal records of all nonviolent drug offenders that her DA office prosecuted. But even that is just the words of a politician- what really matters is policy change.

        You literally said:

        If she actually had a change of heart, she should apologize to the nonviolent victims she chose to prosecute and incarcerate.

        Do you care about a public apology or not?

      There’s no indication that legalization is happening. What we’ve gotten is a simple statement that may or may not be true.

        That’s because she hasn’t been elected yet.

        You know she’s just the vice president, right?
