Claiming that slow walking it is following some fictional legal framework is just an excuse for slow walking it.
I'm not buying any bullshit about it being the final anything.
If you want me to treat it as anything more than a filthy lie, democrats should have been taking their campaign promises more seriously.
Let me guess. We're in the final stage of passing the public option, the minimum wage increase, codifying roe, and closing gitmo as well. I'm sure we're in the final stage of passing BBB and reforming our out of control police too.
After decades of lies, you expect me to buy that Democrats are telling the truth about wanting to do the right thing?
What unmitigated hogwash.
Fictional legal framework? Lmao
Go read up on the CSA hon.
The decision is resting with the DEA now, who are the decision makers.
So quote it. Quote the law that is preventing Biden from descheduling cannabis.
Not a press release, not an op-ed, the actual law.
Chuck Schumer was saying Biden should deschedule back in January. He knows more about the process than you do.
EDIT: and just like that, the condescension and the excuses for prolonging the racist drug war stop.
