Current Events > Should US President Joseph R Biden legalize cannabis by executive order?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What are the possible positive and negative consequences? Would such an action gain or lose voters?

He should legalize all drugs by executive order

Even ivermectin?

Hard to see a reason why he wouldn't raise the issue which has overwhelming support heading into a midterm year.

We have very different definitions of "overwhelming support"

He is old and conservative.

Only if he lights one up while making the announcement

Lives would quit being ruined because they got caught using a drug far safer than many legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco.

Gain. The kind of people who would care that much about cannabis getting legalized are staunch Republicans.

Shut the fuck up.

What if everybody gets stoned and ends up liking each other and getting along?

That would be an assault to our democracy and we cannot allow it.

Democrats enact a popular policy challenge (impossible)

Congress should legalize it

Everyone else needs to get over the EO obsession

• he's an ancient, patriarchal moralizer
• cares more about his big pharma friends than the american people
• he thinks the right will attack him for it. whereas, if he does nothing, he still expects the stoners to vote for him

really, could be a number of things

Shut the fuck up.

Misread, I thought you said Biden had overwhelming support lmao

It'd get blocked by a judge immediately

I'm not confident it wouldn't get reversed by the next shithead in office

We need something more concrete than an executive order

No. I've met enough people who have weed as their sole personality trait that I'm against anything that would make them happy.

Positive. a shit ton of money for this country, and happier people

Negative pharmaceutical companies would lose a shit ton of money.

And yes, yes it should be legalized. Whatever president does that will be the first president ever that I give two shits about.

It should 100% be legal. Makes no sense that it isn't.

Bernie was going to do that, sadly Biden is an old fuddy duddy who thinks it is a gateway drug.

It's already legal where I live.

I still don't use it.

Personally, I don't care.

He should but he won't. There was an interesting article with an interview with Clarence Thomas saying that the Supreme Court would probably legalize Marijuana if it was brought before them, but that Biden wouldn't want to legalize it through executive order because of the backlash from the right...

Oddly enough i havent smoked since nv legalized it. Alsox something shady goning on with the money i think. The tax revenue was supposed to go to the education department but they havent seen it.
