the GOP does not have the House, Senate, or White House right now. Several of the states recently legalizing it have been GOP controlled states.
The Dems have passed absolutely nothing to move legalization forward.
Sorry, but this is squarely in Biden's hands now, and we have all seen how his track record on drug policy has been - a disappointment.
- raunak 5y agoIt doesn’t matter if the GOP doesn’t control the House, Senate, or White House - if the reason legalization isn’t moving forward is because 50 GOP Senators vote no, and 1 Dem Senator votes no, it’s still squarely the GOP’s fault. If a legalization bill isn’t even ever going to move past the senate, it really doesn’t matter if the House/WH are Dem controlled. I fail to see how it’s squarely in Biden’s hands at this point, unless I’m sorely misunderstanding the US legislative process. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/congress-schumer-marijuana/2021/04/20/28bb7c4a-a1f8-11eb-a7ee-949c574a09ac_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/congress-schumer-mar...
