An Election Year – Once Again Some Chit Chat about Marijuana Legalization. Pushing it off Another Agency.
Maybe it will become an issue come September. If we are still around.
The White House states that the final decision on marijuana scheduling now rests with the Justice Department, highlighting that the recommendation to reclassify cannabis by the top federal health agency was guided by evidence.
Biden has consistently highlighted his marijuana scheduling directive and the pardons he has granted for cannabis-related offenses. This includes his proclamation as President, recognizing April as Second Chance Month.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in the meantime, separately urged the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to expedite their review and promptly reschedule marijuana. This call to action took place during a roundtable event at the White House last month, where Harris engaged with recipients of pardons.
