Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I think Biden spoke of this the same way. I wouldn’t give Trump any credit here at all because saying something doesn’t mean anything is happening
Yeah we'll see if it happens, but I will say I can see him doing it.
People thought the same about Biden to lock in the vote last year but they didn’t. Maybe this will move faster because there isn’t a strong FDA or CDC to stop them from reclassification, only DEA and police unions would whine.
This just comes across as jingly keys
That was wish casting. Kamala was the pothead sheepdog with her "I used to buy weed from snoop dogg" stuff and Biden was still calling it a gateway drug in 2019
Just dem voters projecting their values onto their politicians who couldn't give a rats ass what we think
In 2024 Biden announced the move to reclassify to schedule III but it simply never happened. My response is more about how this is a distraction and meaningless unless actual movement to reclassification occurs.
I know they have been using it as a wedge issue for years, but Trump has actually been doing a lot of the things he says he's going to do, and damn the processes that stand in the way..
Horrible things obviously, but you never know.
I've noticed he says "we're looking into/ we will have to take a look at ___" that usually means he's blowing it off
That’s true
Didn't Biden campaign on never making marijuana legal? I thought he doubled-down on that?
