He doesn't have the power to change the law on his own. He's requested that the justice department reschedule the drug. I'm not sure what more within his power

He doesn't have the power to change the law on his own. He's requested that the justice department reschedule the drug. I'm not sure what more within his power would allow him to "whole ass" this.
- hattmall 4y agoTell DEMOCRATS he would veto any legislation until they pass whatever he wants. They can do it, they have the votes and have passed legislation with 0 Republican support. But that is far from necessary here. With regard to Marijuana and the controlled substances act, Biden could issue an executive order to change the schedule of any substance right away. He could also issue an EO for the DOJ/IRS to change any regulations regarding marijuana that impact legal states or MJ related prosecutions. He has a lot more power than this action implies, especially regarding things that aren't made law via statue but regulations set by executive branch departments.
