Cool, so president Harris will instruct the FDA to spend 3 years considering whether to reschedule it, and then in time for the 2028 election, the FDA will announce a plan to consider making a decision in 2029 after an open comment period, of course after new laws are passed to criminalize any BIPOC for owning a car or being parents while possessing hemp flowers. That probably seems demotivating to you, but I've also got an analogy where voting is like using a public bus to get closer to you where you want, which I assume checks out, I've never ridden a bus.

That before or after it's done in the weakest way, courts strike it down and barely anything after that is done?

Hail Mary to the youth vote that hate her because genocide is genocide and no amount of pandering or spinning it are gonna change that

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 35 points 2 weeks ago

But Harris had not previously mentioned marijuana since launching her campaign. There is no reference to it on her campaign website, and she avoided answering specific questions about her position as recently as last week.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz also recently dodged the question of legalization, telling Spectrum News he thinks it’s an issue that should be left to individual states.

So continue to wait for it to possiblely be done by fda or states.

Huh, isn't that how you can summerize almost all her policies?

it’s an issue that should be left to individual states.

[-] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Nobody "left it to individual states", it's still federally illegal. Which obviously he fucking knows, but I guess he thinks we don't understand?

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago

Did she say she’ll close gitmo yet? Or is that lie not scheduled for another few weeks?

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago

If she wins then in the run up to 2028 reelect she might say "It's time to close Gitmo" because it'll be pretty fucking embarrassing for US prestige if somebody there who never had a trial dies from old age. But perhaps a more likely solution is they'll have the guy commit suicide.

Thankfully, I'm 1000% immune to this trick, Copmala.

Even if I did indulge, it still won't outweigh the genocide support!

The thought that there are people out there who would still believe this is maddening
