It definitely needs to be decriminalized but that’ll actually take an act of Congress. Public pressure needs to be applied but let’s not pretend Biden can do this on his own

There’s other ways to try, Biden just won’t.
Although the President may not unilaterally deschedule or reschedule a controlled substance, he does
possess a large degree of indirect influence over scheduling decisions. The President could pursue the
appointment of agency officials who favor descheduling, or use executive orders to direct DEA, HHS,
and FDA to consider administrative descheduling of marijuana. The notice-and-comment rulemaking
process would take time, and would be subject to judicial review if challenged, but could be done
consistently with the CSA’s procedural requirements. In the alternative, the President could work with
Congress to pursue descheduling through an amendment to the CSA.
But the House passed a bill to deschedule in 2022, and Biden’s whole deal in the last primary was how well he could get Republican senators on board with Dem legislation.
He couldn’t.
But going back full circle:
Why did Biden promise to deschedule if there’s no way he can deschedule?
To the full-circle thing, I’m not sure what the point is. There was no explicit deadline. Promises by politicians to assert their position have been used since forever. It doesn’t change the fact there are obstructions to their good intentions. If I promise something and someone blocks me from viably pursuing it, that’s not on me, that’s on them: Republicans.
And if they approach it the wrong way, as quoted material suggests, it risks being thrown out by the conservative court making future attempts possibly more difficult.

If I promise my kid a trip to their favorite amusement park and then don’t get the big bonus I expected from work to afford it, it’s not my jobs fault the kid didn’t go to the park. It’s my fault for making a promise and not finding a way to follow through.
If I promise my kid a trip to their favorite amusement park and then don’t get to go because Republicans blew up every bridge along the way to the amusement park, which also flooded because of Climate Change, then that’s on Republicans, not me.
Nice stealth edit, because you realize what you say is ridiculous.
You’re borderline obsessed with a boogie man. Take some personal accountability.
If you want to use your example that’d be like knowing those bridges were scheduled for demolition, and still promising to drive over them the next day anyway.
Stealth edit? Sorry, I corrected a typo. What did you think I did? LOL.
Like knowing those bridges were scheduled for demolition,
Except in your terrible analogy, this is amplifying momentum for people to vote, which could’ve inevitably changed the outcome of who controlled the House and Senate. Therefore, Biden couldn’t have predicted those bridges to be blown up because it was quite possibly people would make the sensible choice and not put these demolitionists back in Congress.

If he ignored the entire history of the party and voting base. Why is it not his own fault for being able to understand that water is wet?
Are you really that upset that Biden made a promise that he can’t keep because Republicans blocked him? The key point in all this is understanding what his intentions are. He laid out his intentions; if he wasn’t serious, then he probably wouldn’t have advised the DOJ to not prosecute marijuana offenders, or pardon them, huh?
lol.
Republicans have nothing. Trump is going to prison. You will lose.

This is the reality of the situation.
