Dude promised to do it if elected in 2020…soooo.
Biden promised to get rid of student loans as well. He started the program right before the 2022 election, and it got ruled illegal right after it. Maybe he'll make weed legal by executive order in October of 2024, only for the courts to rule "wait, you don't have that power" in December of 2024.
Law should be what society wants the law to be. Law should not be what some elite minority ruling class wants the law to be.
Democracy is how we find out what society wants.
It's supposed to be, but the GOP has been undermining the shit out of it to try and keep the power they have left.
He can't. He can recommend to the CSA that it be descheduled from a schedule 1 controlled substance (and that recommendation carries a lot of weight), put in place agents who favor descheduling it, or order DEA, HHS, and FDA to consider administrative descheduling.
Vote out Republicans. That's the only way to make sure it becomes legal.
He can't and as another commenter pointed out his health panel submitted a research paper along with a recommendation to move cannabis to a schedule three drug.
He's already doing what you want it's just not loud about it so you don't know.
If you wanted to be fully legal you're going to need to start writing your congressional representatives because they're the ones who can do it
