Really insane that this hasn't been done yet.

Descheduling it is something he has full legit powers to do as well if I'm not mistaken.

I'm waiting for Biden going "Nah".

The pot issue could get some votes for mid-terms, but nooooo. Biden is too anti-weed and it would piss off various donors so it won't happen. Didn't the White House fire some folks because they smoked weed?

There is absolutely zero sensible reason for Biden not to do this.

Weed legalization is one of the only bipartisan political positions this country has with around 70% of the country give or take in favor of full legalization.

Get these people out of our horrible prison system and help them find employment and housing.

The only way you could possibly "defend" Biden on this (or any president ever) is that he is waiting to use it as a political card to maximize it's potential value to him. I kind of have a hard time looking at Biden and seeing him as anyone who looks at much beyond his own political career. Granted, that doesn't exactly make him any different than the vast majority of politicians.

I find it hard to believe someone who fought against legalization his entire career and spearheaded some major legislation that depended on it remaining illegal would change his mind right at the end.

Seems like that's their MO doesn't it?

It is a pretty fair bet. A lot will be on the line then.
