What Biden really needs to do if he wants to unite the country is to legalize marijuana and immediately release prisoners held on marijuana charges. Most Americans agree that it should be legal, it will address racially prejudice law enforcement issues, and after this election's results are implemented, a third of the countrys population will have legal access anyway. The second thing he should do is decriminalize all drugs and address addiction using science, as a mental health issue, not a crime. And finally, this all will help alleviate pandemic-induced loneliness or sadness by giving everyone incredible reasons to chill out at home <img src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tcd/1/16/1f643.png">

He should convince all the Congressmen to join together to personally fund the stimulus checks as an apology for the past 6 months. That'll help a lot.

Biden should have just adopted the stance of legalization DURING the election and maybe we wouldn't have gone through 4 days of Hell.

It was a very easy slam dunk position to take. But he didn't.

Decriminalization and expunging of marijuana crime records is literally part of Biden's official policy commitments.

My best friend died from an overdose because he couldn't ever get proper treatment, so I don't appreciate this type of comment.

No, educations should be mandatory, drug addictions should be treated at their essence, as neurobiological problems.

They absolutely need to get started with decriminalizing marijuana on a federal level. The approach to drug addiction needs to be high priority once it's done.

I'm curious to see what happens in Oregon. I agree that addicts and criminals aren't the same, but many addicts of heroin and meth do get violent. I'd like to know how what they believe the best solution is.

When Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 after insane amounts of overdose deaths, lives were saved and drug use decreased significantly. If you got 5 minutes and want to learn more, check out this video: https://filtermag.org/portugal-decriminalization-drug-use-explained/

Yeah, that really sucks. One of my friends went to prison years ago in a really unlucky incident and it's prevented him from achieving more than he could've. My best friend actually became addicted and died of an overdose, and I'll always keep thinking that I wish he could've been saved with proper help...

I agree, Education should be mandatory. We should bring back DARE and go back to the Drugs=bad mentality we have unfortunately drifted away from.

Thanks for that link. I hope we can see some similar results here in the states.

I'm not trying to argue with you here because you seem like a decent guy, but prohibiting drug use just doesn't work to stop drug use. Prohibiting anything makes people more likely to do it.

Serotoniergic psychedelics (Psilocybin and LSD) have been scientifically shown to effectively treat depression, PTSD and addiction. Ketamine and MDMA can also treated depression. We need more compassion and empathy in the world, and giving addicts the treatment they deserve is one of the most important things we can do. If you really can have an open-mind for 15 minutes, check out this TED Talk:

No, only drugs that have never been shown to scientifically harm the brain should be legalized, all drugs should be decriminalized. Psychedelics should be legalized next.

Good idea, let's redo the 2020 election quick with only 2 candidates: Biden or Bernie.

It can harm the brain is smoked too early, but a 21 minimum age will be fine.

Agreed. Instituting a universal healthcare system would also be a good step in uniting the country. Most Americans want it including nearly half of Republicans.

Biden was chosen to beat Trump, now that he's out of the picture, it's time to get the real choice we need: Bernie vs Biden.
