RE:RE:Biden / Sanders Task Force - Legal MJ Med & Rec. ".. reschedule it through executive action on the federal level" in the same paragraph as "legalization" is all I needed to see. Take this as a future win for all LPs.
First step is reschedule then legalize medical US wide. Then the States can decide *if* they want rec. in their state. (A given, money to be made in tax revenues.)
This will take time though. Need to win the election first and there are more pressing matters such as the pandemic, economic, racial tensions and so on.
Btw - alerted to this info on another forum, so credit to the eagle eyes over there. :)

Democrats will decriminalize marijuana use and reschedule it through executive action on the federal level. We will support legalization of medical marijuana, and believe states should be able to make their own decisions about recreational use. The Justice Department should not launch federal prosecutions of conduct that is legal at the state level. All past criminal convictions for cannabis use should be automatically expunged. And rather than involving the criminal justice system, Democrats support increased use of drug courts, harm reduction interventions, and treatment diversion programs for those struggling with substance use disorders."
