Believe it when I see it.
god i wish we would do the same across europe
Biden promised the same thing and then didn’t do shit. They clearly like to dangle this carrot without acting on it so they can continue to leverage it for votes.
You should learn how the drug schedule system works. The president can't just snap his fingers and make it legal.

Decriminalization is not the same as legalization. In terms of legalization, he only supported legalization for medical marijuana which is the process he started. He actually pledged to move it to schedule 2 but has started the process to move it to schedule 3. That process is getting closer for what it's worth. The DEA has really dragged it out but it's nearly at the end with the public hearing in December
From the source that politico links to
he will support the legalization of cannabis for medical purposes
[...]
reschedule cannabis as a schedule II drug so researchers can study its positive and negative impacts.
Copying my comment from elsewhere
Yea it’s still full of “is going to” and “process getting closer” stuff. He had 4 full years and didn’t do anything until halfway through his last year specifically so the next election cycle could continue to have a carrot to dangle. That was 3 more years of people having their lives permanently ruined.
The existing law outlines the complicated process. Biden cannot do it instantly. Here's an overview of the process that's already been done so far
Now the rule has been proposed so we're at the end of that graph. That's what I mean when I say we're close. Here's the actual rule making procedure to do the rescheduling
Additionally, it's worth noting that earlier, dem senate leader was also perusing a legislative path until it was clear they couldn't get the votes. Hence later executive action

If no one is being harmed and all parties have the access to information to know enough about whether or not to consent, and if all parties do consent.
Nothing wrong is being done.
