    The President doesn’t make laws, Congress does. You need to be talking to your representative and Senators and holding them accountable.

    About cannabis specifically, he already pardoned the federal non-violent, non-distribution offenders. And his DOJ has recommended the DEA reschedule it to a Class III drug, they’re the department that actually controls drug scheduling.

    State drug laws are not something the President has control of. Again that you be your State reps.

    You seem to either not understand how this works or are purposely ignoring that for whatever reason.

      He pardoned some.

      He can order agencies to do things and replace them if they refuse.

      But even if the only thing he can do is pardon people to save them from trump…

      Why is he only pardoning his son who admitted guilt to his crimes already?

      Do you and Biden both think Hunter is the only one at risk and the only one that need protection from trump?

        Why do you think that Trump is going to give any shit about whether someone has been pardoned already? What in his history makes you think he will follow the law?
