What a fruit.
Bernie, you could not use an executive order to wipe your butt. Get lost and move to Cuba.
Hes an idiot and he treats voters like idiots. what a stupid idea both legally and practically
I cant stand this son of a bitch
It should be legal IMHO, but not by executive fiat. We have Congress for making and unmakingvlaws.
If Bernie could mandate this, think what else he could do.
Not too sure it’s actually a congressional law. I seem to recall it evolving from a tax issue to the present state of either your state legalizes it or they can play drug nazis at will.
Unless you're the deep state's puppet, it sure didn't slow jug ears down from turning it to toilet paper.
No POTUS has such power.
You’d have to be a hop head for vote for him.
Far-out, man.
Irrespective of the wisdom or lack of wisdom of making marijuana legal, he could do this.
Marijuana is illegal for public use under the controlled substances act which allows the dea to determine which substances are controlled or not. The dea being a part of the executive branch would be subject an EO.
The CSA really needs to be revoked and states need to take control of drug regulation. The dea should not be enforcing domestic drug laws or involved with regulating medical use of drugs. That’s for the States. Corruption can be better controlled at the State level because AGs can be voted out, individuals can leave corrupt states, and state record requests for government documents are much easier to obtain at the state level. Border control and customs should take the lead in interdiction because their role is better defined.
In fact dea is very corrupt because as a federal agency like fbi, oversight is and accountability is weak. Since its inception in 1970, we have only seen drug overdose deaths increase despite spending. billions. This war on drugs will never end for the dea because like all federal agencies, the incentives for the agents and bureacrats is too great to keep the money flowing and the pensions going. In fact, John Burke, a former top dea official has gone on the record about dea abuses such a bounties for taking down targets. Even though some big government boosters might like this idea, the problem is that these policies create perverse incentives to fabricate evidence and intimidate witnesses.

Dude...NOT without a prescription. And you do understand that I was being sarcastic, dont you?
Well yeah - that’s presuming a congress that actually does its job.
Dude, and like... totally, k? Gotta say ‘’totally dude’’. K?
Hes a bit late
Pot will be legalized federally at some point before the end of Trumps next term by his EO instructing DOJ To stand down
The Dems if they win will do it sooner
Its a fait accompli
Fentanyl is already legal
Someone needs to teach Bean chemists how to measure though
The president can tell DOJ and DEA not to pursue weed or enforce
Its casually like that now to be honest
Feds dont want weed cases unless there is money and assets to seize
He cant legalize pot in an eo, at best he could make an eo telling federal leos to not arrest people for,it, but that would probably cause a constitutional crisis scotus would have to deal with because his eo conflicts with a lawful law passed by congress.
Well, let me ask you this question then. Who currently has the authority to list a substance as a controlled substance?
