did she and Biden also say they would do what they promised in the last campaign?
did those staffers get their jobs back?
are people not still locked up and businesses thriving and cannabis consumers still being arrested?
out of touch the lot of them
JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED
Yeah maybe she should spend less time on “marijuana reform events” and instead actually spend that time in real marijuana law reform.
Stop the dog and pony show, either do something about it or shut up about it
i really hope they go through with the reschedule. its ridiculous it was made schedule 1 in the first place.
Rescheduling or legalizing it exposes a huge amount of injustice. I don’t see how they unwind this.
I’m not sure I follow. Do you mean it would expose the injustice of all the black people thrown in prison for doing something that so many of us white people have been doing for years with far fewer consequences? That makes sense, but isn’t that a good thing? They should totally still try to unwind it. Better insanely late than never, right?
It would expose all the injustices. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be done. Hell yes it should be done. I’m saying I don’t see a way for it to happen.
Ah gotcha, then yeah I agree. I also don’t see how Joe and Kamala can make it happen, especially because of how shitty they’ve both historically been on the issue. Unless they own up to their past mistakes, this strikes me purely as political posturing. And that’d be fine if they actually tried to deschedule it, but we’ve all talked about this issue enough—we don’t need another “round table” or “fact finding commission” or whatever. So yeah, I’m not confident that they’re planning to actually take action.
Thanks for your replies. I didn’t understand the downvotes.
Totally. I wish people would actually take a second to try and understand where others are coming from, rather than just smashing the downvotes.
It’s really not some impossible task, but you’d better believe private prisons are lobbying against it hard to pretend that it is.
Just legalize it, and fuck off with this schedule 3 nonsense. Let everyone out of prison who’s locked up on pot charges immediately, and pay them money in the form of reparations proportionate to the amount of their lives stolen by the injustice of criminalizing a plant.
Fuck this narc
Everyone deserves a chance at an honest redemption and to admit they were wrong.
Do we think Harris, who still supports expanding civil asset forfeiture, is being honest?
lmao I didn’t know that Fat Joe was an actual rapper. I thought this was an Onion article saying that the President and VP were going to host an event together and Fat Joe was Biden’s rapper name.
Dammit now we know it won’t happen
