Top Drug Policy Group Releases Draft Marijuana Executive Order It Wants Biden To Sign Before Leaving Office

A leading drug policy advocacy group has published a draft executive order that it hopes will guide President Joe Biden or future administrations to promote equity in federal marijuana policy and steer the country away from the drug war. The suggested moves include mandating the attorney general to reinstate cannabis enforcement guidance that was rescinded under the Trump administration.
The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) released the multi-part proposed order on Monday, pitching multiple reforms that could be implemented with executive authority from the White House, rather than waiting for Congress to legislatively enact them. The intent is to significantly build upon the marijuana pardons and rescheduling review directed under Biden.
“This proposal is not only a roadmap for President Biden to take action in the final days of his presidency but also a framework for future administrations to leverage executive authority to advance federal marijuana policies that are fair,” Cat Packer, director of drug markets and legal regulation at DPA, said in a press release. “The opportunity to lead on marijuana reform is not bound by political cycles—it is a responsibility for every administration committed to liberty, justice and public health.”

Must every Biden evil plot use the “equity” smokescreen?

They’ll learn the same lesson that republicans learned in 2020 - any chimp with a pen and a giant stack of pre-printed executive orders can rescind any of these imperial decrees.

Remember when everyone swore up and down that Marijuana was strictly for medical purposes and to alleviate suffering of the infirmed?

“equity in federal marijuana”
Equity in precipitating mental illness (a friend smoked that stuff, went nuts, tried to kill his wife and now it’s next to impossible to have a conversation with him).
