Well sleepy Joe and Harris said they’d decriminalize marijuana

Trump needs to at the very least say he would too, I know many don’t like to think so but cannabis laws are a big deal to a lot of people who find it to be utterly insane it’s still illegal and all the resources spent keeping it so.
Biden beat him to the punch but Trump does have an opportunity to spin to his advantage. Harris said they wouldn’t half step it but that’s exactly what she’s proposing.
She’s proposing decriminalization not legalization. Trump needs to call her out on this, say she’s doing political-speak but she is half stepping it, and that he'll fully legalize it at the federal level and allow states to do as they please. Or frick, just go in and do it now for gods sake and just cement the victory.
But if he comes out opposing this it’ll drive plenty of people away and towards the Biden camp who at least will be doing something about marijuana even if it is half steps.

“This is no time—from, I think, our collective perspective—this is no time for half-steppin’,” she added. “This is no time for incrementalism. We need to deal with the system, and there needs to be significant change in the design of the system so that we can support working people, so that we can fight for the dignity of people, so that we can make sure that all people have equal access to opportunity and to justice.”

This just isn’t an important issue either way
People who smoke dope don’t vote

Make it legal and tax the shite out of it.

It has already been essentially decriminalized for personal use throughout most of the country.

Trump should just run the number of people she put in jail for it and ask why all the sudden her opinion “changed.” Also most people that would be heavily influenced by this probably already vote blue

It was pretty dumb of Trump not to decriminalize weed at the Federal level. It would have been politically transcendent. He could have even kicked it over to let the states decide and it still would have been a huge victory.

It will drive my wife away a little bit since she's a cannabis patient (she has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was 12) and this gives her obvious relief.
Pot is not my thing but I cannot understand why they don't legalize it completely. I know the Democrats won't legalize it until they can find a way to make money from it.
But if Republicans would go all in on freedom (Like they're supposed to!), as DTG says, it would cement them in states like Colorado which should be a fricking red state anyways.

The House should be bringing this up for a vote in the next two weeks. It’s time.

They will criminalize all forms of free speech and freedom.

If the election is turned on this shite given the 50 issues more important that would be the sorriest episode in political history.
I don't like cities burning or my 401K getting assraped but muh weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!

People who base their vote on this are pathetic
I am for decriminalization of it though

Hurts Biden because of Kamala’s history of prosecuting potheads

It’s one of the first smart things they’ve done bc it puts Trump in a bit of a bind.
I don’t think he can say he’d decriminalize it now (he should have already done it) but something somewhat similar he could do to seem hip / libertarian is pardon Edward Snowden. He could also say he’s clearly never gone after states that have legalized it, passed justice reform, and actually stopped Sessions from going after states that had legalized it. So in essence he’s already informally decriminalized it.

Who can’t get pot who wants it? 
Biden and Harris are not going to sign an edict so all you plant baws can toke up at will, though. The liability issues for that are too many.
Sorry. Find a job that doesn’t care if that’s your biggest issue in life. There are plenty.

Biden/Obama and Nancy has 8 years to do it.
They didn’t.

For all intents and purposes, it already is decriminalized.

AOC is pushing Biden into this. Heard her say it tonight on a FOX segment.
