In fairness he basically federally legalized marijuana with the 2018 farm bill. I know a lot of guys say that was a mistake or whatever but the new farm bill is past due and he hasn't "fixed it" yet. I literally hate that man, but he did do that one thing that I agree with.

I don't view that as basically legalized it federally. It has to be descheduled.

When I was a kid we had k2 which was the shittiest imaginable, today you can buy geek bars with THC in there at the gas station even in states like Indiana. You could not do that before the 2018 farm bill. I agree that it could be more legal, I won't be happy until I can buy and sell it by the bale at my local farmers market and every marijuana conviction is expunged and every person locked up for it is free. You can't deny though that the landscape is hugely different now compared to before the 2018 farm bill.

ugh thats just garbage. Just because its less garbage than the garbage before does not mean anything. 2018 did nothing for legalization.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

He's not going to do that. Even if this wasn't just a distraction from Epstein, there are just too many people with influence on this decision that do not want it reclassified.

Cool, do that. Maybe we can get him to swing full left wing if we keep on about Epstein.
