State Sen. L. Louise Lucas, 82, surrendered to authorities to face charges Thursday, the Justice Department said. She was charged along with a half-dozen other people, including her daughters.
Yeah I wish he would have been able to, and he should have applied more pressure but without an act of congress, he couldn’t decriminalize it. He probably should have faught for it to be legalized recreationally instead of rescheduled to show it had medicinal uses)
October 6 2022 he directed the HHS to review it. (He pardoned anyone federally charged with a possession charge of Marijuana that day)
August 2023 the FDA/HHS completed the review and said it should move from schedule I to III
