A group of Democratic senators called on the Biden administration Tuesday to completely deschedule marijuana, arguing the White House’s recommendations to the Drug Enforcement Administration …
Much lower considering rescheduling marijuana is a basic government act and not a ridiculously unlikely astronomical event. Also, it would gain Biden a lot of votes.
Legislated implies Congress passing a law. That of course will not happen before the election, and likely not while Biden is president due to some Republicans being against the idea of legalization and also Republicans not wanting to give Biden nor Democrats a win.
DEA resxheduling it is the most likely scenario that should hold up in court especially since Biden followed a process to support the change(asking for another department to review whether it is a dangerous drug, and using their response as evidence for the DEA)
It is, but Biden could be using the bully pulpit to talk about how it should be rescheduled and I think the only reason he hasn’t is because he’s old and he hasn’t been convinced yet that “reefer” is safe.

And send the theocracy into a rage in another dimension, one in which they wouldn’t be sure why their hair is falling out
i was under the impression the president could unilaterally just order the DEA to do it as its under the executive. is that true?
As far as I understand it, the DEA has the independence to make the decision themselves and all the president can do is tell them what he wants.
Ya, it really should be legislated. I doubt that’s happening before November, though.

Kind of. It’s murky legal waters.

Oh, I agree, he could be pushing much harder for it.
