    First of all, don’t let any of this distract you from the fact that the president is a rapist and pedofile

    Secondly, fuck Biden for leaving this easy political win laying around for the fascist assholes

    Perhaps he is hoping that Marijuana memory loss will help people forget about the Epstein files.

    Or, was there perhaps a suspiciously large Polymarket bet for this? Just curious.

      I think it is more of a token gesture to try placating people who are so unhappy with his current term.

      “Sir, the polling numbers are looking pretty dire!”

      “OK, give the poors something to make them happy. I hear they like the Mary Jane.”

        And this doesn’t even really do anything to help them, it helps wealthy people who own dispensaries in legal states, but Cleetus in red state hell with brick weed is still going to get harassed and arrested by the good ol boy cops (not that I expect Cleetus to read down past the headline to figure all of that out)

          It also opens access to a lot of people. It will also opens research to a massive group that didn’t qualify before. This is truly good but fuck President Kid raper. He wants people to love him again. It’s getting hard to hide it from that EVERYONE is dunking on him.

      He has donors with a lot of money in the marijuana industry.

      He might hope this boosts his approval rating, but this is just normal Trump pay for play.

      This is more on the educational side and how legal states can process the money. It makes the environment less of an area for crime (cash heavy buildings).

      It would also help with stupid shit like D.C… You had to buy something else to get weed! A $50 stamp and a free 1/4 oz!

    half assed sorta fulfillment of promise he was supposed to do in his first term that he did not and makes it all goofy to boot. This is like classifying tobaco without a tax stamp as category 1 and ones with as category 3. Then follows it up with a thing biden had started in his term.

      I could see an all Trump band at some point. Not like jan 6ers but eric on bass. don jr will want to be lead but Ivanka will upstage him. Baron will be the pole that everyone uses to find their FUN friend.
