Democratic senators are putting pressure on the Biden administration to use its authority to deschedule cannabis, as a Senate proposal to legalize marijuana faces an uphill battle.

Democrats press Biden to use ‘existing authority’ to take step toward marijuana legalization

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and others on Wednesday sent a letter calling on the Biden administration to “use its existing authority to (i) deschedule cannabis and (ii) issue pardons to all individuals convicted of nonviolent cannabis-related offenses.”

Warren leading the charge. Remember, lots of freepers are extremist pro-democrats in this topic.

I honestly think the libertarian wing of conservatives really want this pot stuff, cause it leads to mass shootings.

I think they’re that insane and delusional and above all, hypocrites

I don’t understand conservatives wanting anything to do with something that gets in the way of clear thinking.

How was marijuana made federally illegal? Directly by law, or by delegated authority?

The war on drugs gives the federal government vast powers and made us into a police state.

The trend in legalization states so far has been to legalize drugs and implement more gun control. Then more voters turn to the left. Crime rates go up. Crooks take over and regulate more. Homelessness increases.

Yeah, because this is so much more important while the Republic burns.

Republic burning is a big result of the pot legalization.

I see that ‘marihuana’ is specifically assigned as a Schedule I drug.

‘Cause if it’s legal, you have to smoke it.

True. There are many here who take the libertarian or 10th amendment position on marijuana. They don’t want us to talk about whether marijuana use is dangerous or bad in any way.

One thing that all these recent mass killers have in common, and even just the smaller killers.. Yep.

It literally drives people insane. But it’s spread all over now. Nobody seems to really care and they’d rather go after gun rights. The liberals on FR that support weed are supporting Warren and the democrat cause.

Soros getting impatient? He is one of the biggest promoters of legalization, guess he has planned to make big bucks off of the results.

Legalized pot has made many leftwing politicians quite rich lately.

The fools on the libertarian side just pushed it because they want to get high without hassle. They’re as bad as the left, if not worse.

Is there a defined time when you stop being a noob on here? 2 years? 10? 25?
