So, good news and I’m glad that they did it. Cannabis should not be illegal, and though this doesn’t fix that, having it being Schedule I was insanity and totally out-of-step with reality. I’m sure that Trump will be getting greased by the weed lobby, but in the end of the day, this is something that needed to happen.
The executive order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to conclude the formal rescheduling process, which has been going on for more than a year, and move to publish a final rule that would reclassify cannabis.
Effectively all this is doing is putting Trump’s name on a process that was started by Biden in 2022.
Looking at just the politics of it, the Democrats absolutely fucked up by teeing this up for Trump when they could have just done it themselves. Weed legalization is popular and it’s already been happening across the country for over a decade. Even if you don’t think it’s totally fucked up how cannabis is treated as a Schedule I substance, it’s really not hard to see which way the wind is blowing on this politically.
This should have been something that Biden did before leaving office, whether the reclassification process was over or not. Instead they wrapped it up in a nice little gift box and tied a little bow around it before handing it to Trump. This is the type of thing that drives your voters and supporters fucking insane, Democrats.
