    Fight Congress on this, Biden is the most pro marijuana president we’ve had in a long time but Congress would rather ratify Roe v. Wade (which they should) into law than see marijuana legalization.

    The prison industrial complex makes too much money for their backers

      but Congress would rather ratify Roe v. Wade (which they should) into law than see marijuana legalization.

      I acknowledge that you said “they should”, so that’s good, but I have to question why you even thought to use that example? In what world would they not prioritize that? Even if they were all pro-legalizing marijuana, Roe is a decidedly more important issue.

      Realistically they would just do both things at once but if we’re going to commit to this hypothetical where they can only do one thing at a time, yeah, it goes without saying protecting women’s reproductive rights (that were only recently taken away) is more pressing than pot.

        I used this example because our Republican Congress and SCOTUS hates women and bodily autonomy.

        The current one where Republicans have control of the House.

    but it won’t help those who have suffered criminalization.

    Might help with some of the suffering though.

    When you wait until just before voting season, to make promises to the voters. Sigh.
