    That should have been done the second it was legalised (don’t get me started on before then and who these laws were written to target in the first place), waiting this long is nothing to be proud of, it’s bare minimum shit…

      You do realize that it’s not actually legal Federally, right?

      And due to anti-drug treaties we have with other nations, it may be a good long while before it’s even possible to make it legal Federally.

        So wherever it is fucking legal already (there are absolutely still people imprisoned for offences that no longer exist in their state), way to miss the point…

          That’s right, get mad at the person trying to inform you so that you might have some fucking clue about what you’re discussing.

          Way to go.

            Lmfao…
            Replying with basically “that’s just not how things work” to a person already saying the system is broken isn’t “informing” anyone of anything (like no fucking shit things aren’t that easy, that doesn’t make what Biden is doing any less bare minimum than it is), it’s just you being a pointless pedant.

      Marijuana is still classified as a schedule 1 drug and remains federally illegal.
