I don’t see anything wrong with saying it should be looked at scientifically which is what he said. The problem with the way it is now is federally funded schools can’t study it. And relying on bro science is not a recipe for success.

I'm curious on some of the specifics of the arrests. The article mentioned that there was an expected rise in arrests due to Covid lockdowns but they didn't expect such a drastic rise in arrests. I didn't see specifics on what type of arrests, which States, etc. Is it possible the article is slightly slanted to reflect poorly on the Administrations efforts to legalize? I just see a lot of holes in the story from my perspective.

Keep in mind I'm not pushing for any sides here. Just questioning the substance of the article.

exactly. This is just another hit narrative on Biden.

LA Weekly is a left-leaning media outlet. They don't have any motivation to politically skew the reality.

I wasn't talking about Political skew. Just the fact that it seems so many other entities are in play. As a non American, it would be nice to read an article that has more of the base points on the situation involved. Not just a promise from a Politician that wasn't met. Seems like lazy journalism to me. Also keep in mind I'm not a very politically oriented guy. I pretty much distrust any Politician to a point. But if other nuances are involved that aren't being pointed out, I'll feel that there is some form of misrepresenting the entire picture. It's just my personal approach having had some experience on the Tech part of a news organization. YMMV.

The rise has been in Federal arrests. I suspect these are weighted toward big players, such as black marketeers moving weight across state lines.

Do you think it is okay to arrest people for engaging in consensual trade with a plant ?

If you do, wouldn't that make you a prohibitionist ?

In other news today his daughter's diary, the one where it mentions showering with dad, (Pedo Joe) has created some DOJ activity.

What if it’s a plant that’s mature for its age?

I am semi-legal. I dumped a bunch of pots of soil on the garden (never planted veggies for years) and noticed a few weeks back that some weeds sprung up. It has been too hot for me to get out and weed the back yard the last while, got out today. Almost feel bad about cutting them down. It is not like they will finish when the snow is on the ground, but have to stay legal. Only allowed to have indoor plants now.

When “big” cannabis has more money than big pharma, it will happen. Until then good luck.

I can’t be the only person that has dropped my prescription pills and “going green”
