I never said it was a solution. It should be decriminalized entirely. But in the meantime, decriminalizing it at the state level helps everyone in that state. Any harm reduction is worth doing.
But do you understand that your solution isn't even a bandaid?
It's just ignoring the wound.
In this case infection would be a conservative president siccing the DEA on "legal states".
And if Biden won't/can't get the DEA to deschedule, how is he able to stop the DEA if they decide they want the billions in seized revenue from blue states to use at the border?
You're arguing Biden has no power over them (which me and the Congressional Research Services disagee with) but if that's true, wouldn't he also be unable to stop the DEA from enforcing federal law in those states?
