RE:RE:RE:RE:Joe Biden: "we should decriminalize marijuana"A joint Joe Biden-Bernie Sanders task force has recommended rescheduling marijuana on a federal basis, legalizing medical marijuana nationwide and allowing states to decide about recreational cannabis.
The so-called Unity Task Force marijuana recommendations are centrist. Here are key points in the language of the document:
Democrats will decriminalize marijuana use and reschedule it through executive action on the federal level. We will support legalization of medical marijuana (federally), 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. That approach would be more aligned with the STATES Act, which experts say does have some support in the Republican-controlled Senate.
It appears that Sleepy Joe and the radical left have compromised and will legalize medical marajuana and states rights will determine recreational permissability.

Decriminalize is different then saying he will federally legalize . Which we all are waiting on.
Hopefully you are right H. To me i think it depends how the exchanges interpret it ....What Biden plans on doing if elected
He’d decriminalize use, which would mean fines instead of jail time, and move to expunge records for using.Biden would move marijuana off as a Schedule 1 narcotic, the same category as heroin, but would not take it off the illegal-drugs schedule entirely, so that federal law would treat it the way it does alcohol or nicotine. Altieri, the pro-marijuana lobbyist, said “Where he’s at now would have been maybe a bold stance in 1988. It’s not much of one in 2020" Anyone who believes—hopefully, or out of cynical political calculation—that Biden will announce some big change in his thinking, aides told me, will be disappointed.
