Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called on the federal government to move “as quickly as possible” to change the way it officially classifies marijuana, saying that “nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.”
“I cannot emphasize enough that they need to get to it as quickly as possible,” Harris said. “We need to have a resolution based on their findings and their assessment. This issue is stark when one considers the fact that on the schedule currently, marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin ― as dangerous as heroin ― and more dangerous than fentanyl, which is absurd, not to mention patently unfair.”
Marijuana is currently listed as a Schedule 1 drug by the Drug Enforcement Administration. That classification designates it one of the most dangerous drugs possible, with no medicinal uses. Other substances in the same category include heroin, ecstasy and LSD. Marijuana advocates have been pushing for years for the federal government to either reschedule marijuana to a different category or deschedule it entirely.
Democrats held the majority in congress for four years while Obama was in office. I expected them to get it fucking done. No, when someone repeatedly fails to deliver I don’t celebrate status updates because I can’t trust the status updates.
We’re talking about Biden’s presidency. Stop bringing up Obama. It’s immaterial because Biden wasn’t president, in case you missed that.
It’s happening now. Stop being a baby and screaming about bygones that can’t change. And when it comes around I expect you to eat some fucking crow. Though I’d bet you’ll just pretend you were never such a whiny child about how progress isn’t good enough because it’s not done
They lied before. They lie now. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
It’s not even half done. Or a quarter. Or 1% it is 0% done. 0. You are fucking delusional.
It’s in the final stage with the DEA deciding. How many times do I have to say it. It’s almost done. And it has never gotten here before either. Jfc
What do you mean by “almost”? Almost as in it’ll be done this year? When?
I’m not a clairvoyant. Government runs slowly but it is happening right now nonetheless.
Still waiting for an answer.
You’ll get your answer when marijuana is rescheduled.
And in the mean time I will continue to point out Democrats have fucked around far too long on this. Stop saying it’s “almost” done when you have no clue when it will actually happen. Stop celebrating fucking sound bytes.
Then what do you mean by “almost”? It’s “almost” done but it could take another fucking 12 years?
