    I’m guessing there was nobody more relevant than Fat Joe after Killer Mike became persona non grata and Snoop favors Trump.

      I mean it’s better than nothing. It’s always funny to me how they start doing everything during an election year when they could have done this 3 years ago.

        In May 2021, the Drug Enforcement Administration approved licensed facilities to grow cannabis for the purpose of medical research for the first time since 1968. Prior to this, the University of Mississippi was the only institution in the United States legally permitted to grow the plant for that use. Previously, in 2016, an application process was put in place for research growers, but no applications were later approved under the Trump administration.

        In October 2022, President Biden announced a mass pardon for past federal cannabis possession convictions, encouraged governors to do the same for state cannabis possession convictions, and instructed Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra to review the classification schedule of marijuana, which could result in removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

        On December 2, 2022, Biden signed the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act.

        Grammy arrest and supported a Republican govenor, so in the current game of politics it would be foolish to associate with him.

        Kamala would do more to bridge to divide with Killer Mike and bring in black voters, but she has to play it safe for the base.

          After looking it up, I don’t think the Grammy incident should count, but I hear what you’re saying. Thanks for your response!
