    If you could do it as president, just make Joe do it immediately. We might not get another chance if you wait.

    Mfs always wait until election time to say they’ll do cool stuff then never fucking do it.

      You might notice that Kamala Harris is not in fact Joe Biden. Even if she wants to do it, that doesn’t mean she can make Joe do it.

      It’s not immediate. There’s a process involved in rescheduling or descheduling. Biden started the process to move it to schedule 3 in 2022 which would efficiently make it legal medically. The DEA has been dragging it out as much as possible. There’s a public comment period in December

      Biden has also not publicly said he wants full legalization, so convincing him to do so may be difficult. As senator, harris pushed for full legalization, so it’s clear that she has a very different attitude about it to Biden
