Democratic senators are putting pressure on the Biden administration to use its authority to deschedule cannabis, as a Senate proposal to legalize marijuana faces an uphill battle.

Democrats press Biden to use ‘existing authority’ to take step toward marijuana legalization

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and others on Wednesday sent a letter calling on the Biden administration to “use its existing authority to (i) deschedule cannabis and (ii) issue pardons to all individuals convicted of nonviolent cannabis-related offenses.”

I’ll never give up firearm ownership.

They could abolish the 2nd Amendment and I’ll still be a gun owner, regardless of the laws.

My Dutch ancestors didn’t come to North America in 1638, so a bunch of control freaks could turn us into a servile mass for our government masters.

“Correlation is not causation”

It is a leftist/democrat/under 30 cause for sure though.

And frankly, I think everyone knows that it’s a big part of the fall of our society and mass shooters/killers.

Leftist Democrats under 30 have pretty much always smoked weed. And you thinking that everyone knows something doesn’t make it so.

True, lots of ignorance when it comes to leftism and drug use on here.

You’d think they’d be a bit smarter, but nope.

The voters are getting restless - lets come up with another way to get them doped up!

At this point if you don’t keep the voters high and happy, they might just vote GOP.

Can’t have that.

Weed today is barely recognizable as weed 40 years ago. The amount of THC has been weaponized.

The crap now is worse than acid. Can’t even handle a small hit.

Not sure if you can even call weed, weed anymore.

The medical evidence is mounting that you are correct in your thoughts.

300+ mg THC edibles are common in CA/CO now. Is that ‘weed’?

I don’t think 60’s weed is appropriate or should be legal. The stuff now sends a lot of people straight to the hospital.

But hell, it’s just THC and legal, so why not right?

Your and dad’s pot was about 2.5% THC(70’s -80’s). Today’s pot is as high as 21% THC.

It’s the ultimate ‘I got nothing’ argument on FR. Just call them a noob and that’s a hard day’s work online.

You are arguing with a troll. Waste of time.

A group in Idaho has put together a very good site about marijuana. Easy to read and navigate. Worth your time to check it out:

Lots of former pro legalization people have changed their stance after seeing the catastrophic results for young people in states like Colorado.

Out of everything we’re dealing with, this is what they’re concerned about. SMFH.
