they can't. if there's cause he can fire the person whose responsibility it is to reschedule drugs and appoint a replacement based solely on their promise to do so, but he can't do it unilaterally. at best he can order the DOJ to stop prosecuting cases and the FBI/DEA to stop investigations based solely around cannabis but that can be immediately reversed by the next guy (and the DEA/FBI don't really have to listen anyway)


e: and I think it needs to be voted on by the House anyway? I forget but this all came up when Obama asked for the same thing in 2014

e2: ok so the controlled substances act allows Congress to schedule drugs but for the last few decades they've mostly left it up to the head of the DEA who's done it unilaterally (although in theory the HHS has the same power). it can never be unscheduled due to international treaties, some people think due to those treaties the lowest it could legally be moved is schedule 2

didnt realize we had John Fetterman posting among us but this is one brain-damaged rear end post

"international treaties" oh brother

Biden would love to legalize weed, but the other countries would nuke us into oblivion if he dared deschedule it :ohdear:

It's me, I'm the person who is responsible for rescheduling drugs, put me in coach! Whoever this current magical person is kind of sucks at their job. Or five magical people/entities because that's about how many the Controlled Substances Act says can gently caress with the drug schedules. It was written to be a nimble, malleable law! Congress has delegated to let the President do whatever international treaty wise for so long there's virtually no risk from the President reneging on the cannabis rules that the US pushed for in the first place disturbing the sanctity of rules based international whatever or checks and balances concerns, Congress gave that up a long time ago.

Biden can easily achieve rescheduling cannabis he just doesn't give a poo poo about doing so, the political jockeying to get it done without Congress is the simplest poo poo but of course that kind of politics is above the Democrats' pay grade or whatever disgusting flippant line they're pushing today as an excuse for being such abject failures at everything.

Whenever it's suggested the President do Good Thing, and someone replies with a lot of words about how Good Thing can't be done, it's interesting that those same words do not apply to when President wants to do Bad Thing (i.e. committing genocide in a region or running concentration camps).

Ah well, nothing to be done I suppose! That's what the inbred rapists who founded this country wanted.

Seems bad to put a guy who should be focusing on recovering from a stroke that's clearly causing him significant dysphasia through this kind of stress, but I guess abusing their candidates and base is just what the Democrats do
