    Well, if you want faster change, you should probably stop blaming the lack of progress on the people who are trying to make changes and start blaming the people who block the changes

      That’s the problem, they’re not or barely trying. Descheduling cannabis was within reach of this administration, they chose not to.

        It wasn’t within reach; republicans control the house; before midterms, the decisive vote in the senate was Manchin. Democrats introduce bills to legalize weed, but unless they get a big majority those are not passing, and a law from Congress is needed for legalization.

        This is the best you can expect until more progressives are voted in.

          The DEA has the authority to deschedule a drug without a legislative process.
