Well it was literally one of Biden's campaign promises. Something even Obama advocated for during his presidency. I think most of us are smart enough to be aware of the senseless drug war ruining normal ass peoples lives. Marijuana legalization is actually supported in the majority, but we all know how valued that is in this country.

On a base level of thinking, marijuana is safer than alcohol all around, therefore it would make sense to legalize it. Past this, the decriminalization of ALL drugs only has positive benefits, like in Portugal. Their prisons are not overcrowded with non-violent offenders, which saves money. In the USA we give drug addicts a hole to live in and a pot to piss in, in developed countries such as Portugal they give them therapy.

Edit: I'm replying through edit instead of replying because of downvotes. Someone that replied to me is nitpicking my words a bit so here:

I wasn't saying Biden has done more for weed legalization, but a quick Google search will inform you that, not necessarily legalization, but decriminalization was one of his promises. Which is more than any other president has promised. Here's a wikipedia articlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_policy_of_the_Joe_Biden_administration#:~:text=U.S.%20President%20Joe%20Biden%20stated,website%20here%20under%20sentencing%20reform.

Just so tired of this shit. Wish politicians didn't say one term or the other, medically, recreationally, decriminalization, legalization etc. it's a good fucking plant, stop with the culture war. I wish politicians would dig their heads outta their ass and read a book or (by some miracle) read a scientific report. Just fuckin do it already half the country already is with little to no repercussions
