In reply to the discussion: Why the Hell Isn't Biden Ending the Federal War on Cannabis? [View all]AdamGG
(1,319 posts)This is a high profile social issue that gets a lot of press. The timing now would be perfect to come out and make the Democrats the party of federally decriminalizing weed before the midterms.
It shifts the focus away from inflation and gas prices and things that Biden in actuality has no blame for, but that bring him down in the polls. If the Democratic party passed this through the House and Senate and Biden signed it into law on Oct. 10th, we would get a bump in the polls.
How can something be more politically important than that? And, it's the right thing to do. Currently, in California and Colorado and Massachusetts, all the people that are legally buying and selling pot are breaking federal law. It would be a positive position that would gain us desperately needed positive press to remove this hypocrisy and not have the government making criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens.
