Biden Continues To Block Weed Sales In DC After Touting Marijuana Rescheduling And Pardons In SOTU
Washington, D.C. won't be able to legalize recreational cannabis sales as part of the budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2025 that the Biden-Harris administration submitted to Congress on Monday. The D.C. cannabis provision has been blocking the nation's capital from using its local tax dollars to implement a legal recreational cannabis sales program, even though DC voters overwhelmingly approved cannabis legalization in 2014. President Joe Biden decided once again to exclude Washington, D.C. from legalizing recreational cannabis sales as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget request on the heels of last week's State of the Union speech, during which he reiterated his stance that no one should be incarcerated for possessing cannabis. Moreover, the Department of Health and Human Services, under Biden's direction, recommended moving marijuana from Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act, on Aug, 29 in a letter to Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) administrator Anne Milgram.
Weed Could Be Biden's Ace Up The Sleeve Against Trump If He Would Fulfill His Campaign Promises
With the 2024 presidential general election this year, Americans seem to be up for a presidential rematch. In his analysis of recent polls, CNN's Harry Enten said surveys from The New York Times/Siena College, CBS News/YouGov, Fox News and The Wall Street Journal all gave Donald Trump "a higher percentage of the vote than Biden by margins ranging from 2 to 4 points." To address the erosion in support among voters, President Joe Biden has been working on engaging with younger voters. He recently made his debut on the popular social media platform TikTok. The move, coincided with the Super Bowl, signaled a potential strategic shift in Biden's re-election campaign. Moreover, in September, the White House addressed young people via a fact sheet that listed issues that the fastest-growing demographic in the country is facing - from student debt and gun violence to environmental concerns to the approach to cannabis reform. The introduction to the "Addressing a Failed Approach to Marijuana" section of the fact sheet highlighted all the wrongs criminalization of marijuana possession has brought upon as well as Biden's 2022 pardon of federal cannabis prisoners, which impacted some 6,500 individuals with prior convictions for simple weed possession.
