    This change does not legalize marijuana for recreational use but allows for more research. That’s it. It does nothing as far as legalization goes. Just recognizes there’s medicinal uses.

    A broken rapist, racist, treasonous calendar is right once a year (or maybe once a decade).

    Its doesn’t undo a decade-long campaign to dismantle the country for profit and power. But it’s nice that he finally did something positive.

    Anyways, remember when he said the left would suddenly be against legalizing weed once he supported it, and everyone collectively said “fucking legalize it”?

    “He also indicated he would not be open to legalizing cannabis for recreational use.” So I guess this is good but what is it really doing if they are never going to legalize it. Hopefully allows for some more conservative states to have an easier path to medicinal or recreational marijuana.

    Sounds like doctors would probably be able to prescribe nationwide if this happens, right?

    Which won’t change anything for most of the US. I think this will only impact Idaho, Wyoming, Kansas, and South Carolina. Everyone else has some sort of legalized availability now.
