President Joe Biden is pardoning thousands of people who were convicted of use and simple possession of marijuana on federal lands and in the District of Columbia.
Modern elections (any really) aren’t about the majority, they are about suburban housewives in Ohio and Pennsylvania as the only group that still morally blows in the wind on the rational adult versus fascism spectrum.
They are the people that can’t immediately accept sweeping change and react violently to “just legalize it”. They fundamentally don’t care about legal weed on balance, but they need baby step progress to stay comfortable enough to keep a firm foot on the rational adult side of that discussed spectrum.
That bit about suburban housewives is not correct. Swing voters are more likely to be young and male, and there isn’t much distinction between rural/suburban/urban.
In swing states where our democracy is decided due to the broken US electoral college system and gerrymandering, they are the ones that candidates market towards most aggressively.
I feel like impairment should be based on eye movement, motor movement, reaction time and focus, like how quickly you can readjust a knob to 1.1v after while someone’s eating chips or blasting a siren next to you. If your getting it done in under 1 minute your fine, but if you take over one minute to do it you may or may not be stoned as fuck, but your definitely incapacitated in some form.
Wish we could get this over with and just legalize it. The attitudes with it have changed. The majority want it treated like alcohol.

It’s not fair, but it is objective reality.
