When Biden becomes President soon will he change his mind on pot?

Reading the news about it. Was hoping for Federally legalizing marijuana federally but think from the research, he won't try to do it. Still after the Trump reign will be interesting but a guy does that has been in the political system and bought and paid for what the plans are on so many things.
At least it will be better than this shit show going on now. But he has to pick a black woman, or African American for the snowflakes.
Am a registered democrat. But moderate. Far left and far right is getting ridiculous here in the states. Still hanging confederate flags at Nascar events? Really? Civil war ended long ago and it would of really sucked to be in it then. Has anyone ever met an intelligent person that has a confederate flag or want to around them?
Someone predicted there will be another civil war when Trump electorally will lose this time looking at the polls. Why don't they just change it to a popular vote? My vote means nothing where I live.
The more one looks deeper into politics the more one sees the corruption.
But Biden isn't going to do shit with drug reform here. But the year of Covid. Blah.

"Why don't they just change it to a popular vote?" Why won't a minority that's busy oppressing the majority give up power and happily accept majority rule? Because that's what is really going on.

Quote:
Biden-Sanders task force does not recommend legalizing marijuana ..,,,,, Democrats will decriminalize marijuana use and reschedule it through executive action on the federal level,” the document reads. “We will support legalization of medical marijuana, and believe states should be able to make their own decisions about recreational use.” The task force also recommended it would not launch federal prosecution for matters legal at the state level. The statement is an obvious reference to current Attorney General William Barr, who was accused of inappropriately using Justice Department funds to target the legal cannabis industry.

Careful what you wish for . I really miss the time when it was medically legal and recreationally illegal . There were less rules , waaaaaay more selection , bether prices , a thriving craigslist market , ya those were the days . You could sell your own at the clubs , now you need a 100k license, gotta conform to packaging rules and on and on . It kinda sucks .

Just make it legal to grow. Five plants or something. Let the big medical companies fight over selling it.

Keep it illegal but remove all penalties. That way, companies that try to profit off of it will be unable to enforce contracts for it, but anyone can grow it or possess it.

" and believe states should be able to make their own decisions about recreational use.”
It is that way now. Hence my post. Federally making it legal despite taxes and such instead of fines and jail, in the majority of red states and I live in one, nothing is going to change when Biden gets in.
He was picked before this whole "election" process even started. But have to give Americans the illusion of choice. You have no choice. Look at Bush and Gore. They choose who they want, the deep and mysterious dark state/government.
I give up on it. Not going to make myself miserable about it anymore. The game is rigged and it is a special club. And you and me aren't in it. Using some Carlin quotes but I get what is talking about.

Biden saying he will choose a woman just didn’t sound right to me. I wouldn’t mind a woman as president or VP, but why did he have to say that? How about he just makes a decision and announces it like a normal person would. I think any self respecting woman that’s worked hard and accomplished things on her own merit would be humiliated to run as Biden’s “Token Woman”. However, someone who is less qualified and has no self respect will jump at the chance. Biden looks old as shit, he may be dead or in a nursing home before 2024. His VP would more than likely become the president if and when Biden’s health fails, but all that matters to him is that it’s a woman.

Biden won't promote legalization, but if sentiment in favor grows strong enough, he'll go along with it. Right now he's marching out the same tired, need more research, blah, blah, blah, effect on the children, etc.
Actually I think legalization does a better job of keeping it away from kids than the black market.

Source? When I was in high school in California, it was very difficult to buy alcohol, but very easy to buy weed when it was illegal.

Source? 90% of the kids at my school (or city or county, I don't recall) tried pot before it was legal.

She get high! She get high!
Get more and more why I disagree with others and agree with others through life. The black market but I get the argument about corporate.
Just wondering how corrupt America will become where people research and make an intelligent thought about why it it what this plant is.
I can right a whole college thesis on this, but I got high, lol. Still makes me laugh.
Can't smoke here where I live in the States without severe consequences. Fines and endless probation MONEY SUCKING FROM YOUR LIFE AND so on. To feed the big fat pig. That is this corrupted system. On to Portland.
Battles starting everywhere way beyond this. Non Militarization of the police, non profit prison systems and, one can learn a lot about this guy. Everything from Two Tony to Mexican Cartels back to El Chapo.
Learned a lot from him. Watched a hour and 16 minute vid on him. Strange when you do time one learns quite a bit. How to use that is up to oneself of course. Humanity isn't very prevelant here.
Navy Vet and kids hitting him with a baton, spraying pepper spray in his face. Swore a right to defend the constitution. Yeah, right. Nobody is fooling nobody.
That made me laugh Adam C. saying you act like woke just happened 10 minutes ago for the M's. No, been going on a bit.
Hong Kong. Wish you the best. Things are getting bad here. And Trump says, ever notice how this is only happening in liberal cities? Well fuck the rednecks.

I got older friends who caught their teenagers getting their Uber driver to buy them liquor. It’s definitely way easier nowadays with the proliferation of cell phones and the gig economy.

Legalization is a "symptom" of widespread acceptance of weed. This is kind of chicken-and-egg. I would argue it wasn't legalization that made it easier to get... it was the ease of getting it that made it legal.

This presupposes that weed started as being illegal. It didn't.

The more popular marijuana gets, the less illegal it becomes (whether on actual paper or by pragmatic lack of enforcement), the more popular marijuana gets, the less illegal it becomes, the more popular marijuana gets, etc...
