President Joe Biden is pardoning thousands of people who were convicted of use and simple possession of marijuana on federal lands and in the District of Columbia.

    So you admit he can do it without congress. However, you think it would make him look like Trump and so he shouldn’t do it…

    That’s very strange reasoning. What exactly do you think would be the actual consequences? Over two thirds of Americans support legalization. If Biden got marijuana descheduled it would likely be an incredibly popular move.

      You’re having a conversation about things you want and I’m having a conversation about how reality works.

          It’s a clarification that you and I are having two different conversations.

          Consider re-reading this not as an argument, but rather as a teacher explaining to you why things work out a certain way.

          I don’t view the conversation as quite that way (I was just stoned and enjoying where it was going), but tonally.

            This has to be a bit right? The irony of being high while also trying to justify why Biden doesn’t push for legalization is just too funny.

              My entire last post is about how this is not a defense of anything. This is an explanation of why things happen the way they do.

                Whether or not you want to call it a defense, you are providing justifications for Biden’s lack of action. Going on to suggest that your opinion is just “how reality works” even though you’ve made factually incorrect statements is just too rich.
