President Joe Biden, in a video posted Thursday on X, touted the proposal as “an important move toward reversing longstanding inequities.”
“Look folks, no one should be in jail for merely using or possessing marijuana. Period,” he said. “Far too many lives have been upended because of a failed approach to marijuana, and I’m committed to righting those wrongs.”

Feels a bit like they’re trying to put the horse back in the barn. If it’s only by prescription at the federal level, they may use that as legitimacy to crack down on recreational use and make it harder to get it for medical use.

Biden doesn’t make malicious moves, he just does half measures on everything that usually result in nothing but a show.
