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.

    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?

      Policy is what matters. A public apology is just optics, and I only care about optics insofar as it affects policy.

      I was offering up a public apology as one way to help resolve her current hypocrisy on this issue. Harris’ current position seems to be something like “allow current and future cannabis consumption, but continue to brutally punish those who consumed cannabis in the past” and I find this deeply schizophrenic.

        Okay, well she can’t set policy until she’s the president. So is your argument here that we shouldn’t be hopeful that she’ll do what she says she’ll do because she hasn’t done it yet even though it’s not in her power? Otherwise I don’t understand what the deal is here.

          If you are getting your hopes up from a press release, and ignoring her entire work history as district attorney, then you are being duped. Actions speak louder than words.

            You’ve convinced me. Never hope for anything good to ever happen.

                Got it. There is no real hope that cannabis will be legalized so just give up on that idea forever.

                  You know what, you’re right. You’ve convinced me to put my hope in press releases.

                  Biden sent out many press releases about a public option before he was elected, so I’ll put my hope in him and stop paying my health insurance premiums.

                  Obama similarly sent out many press releases about holding climate change below 1.5 degrees and codifying Roe v Wade. What a relief! Now I don’t have to worry about climate change or women’s reproductive rights anymore!

                    You don’t need to do this “no u” thing to me. You’ve made it so blatantly obvious that I should not in any way hope for a Harris administration to legalize cannabis.

                    I have changed my vote.

                    Trump 2024!
