But they didn't though? Gonna vote for Kamala either way but you don't have to lie. At best the administration she was part of nicely suggested that we should reschedule it to a lower but still very criminal schedule 3. Please don't give them credit for shit they didn't even do, or promise to do.

I did think they got it lower than that. But schedule 3 can be prescribed and some are available behind the counter at the pharmacy. So it's a way better position than it was.

I'm glad you're getting upvoted for a blatant lie while my correction of that lie is getting downvoted, and now that you're admitting it was bullshit all along you leave it there unedited to mislead more people. Great job. Look, I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but you don't see making up reasons to lick boot.

I don't think it is a blatant lie. It's a huge improvement. There's obviously more work to be done to get it to recreational status. But schedule 3 reduces tax burden and opens up banking options for dispensaries. If a grower wanted to get their product nation wide they can apply to the FDA for a license now. Could you imagine buying concentrate from the counter at Walgreens 2 years ago?

Framing this as an all or nothing thing really misses the point in my opinion.

Worse, they did promise it, but then didn't follow through.

And somehow I'm getting down voted for refuting it with reality lmfao

It's because people really need to believe she'll beat Trump. It's the same wishful unrealistic thinking that led the same folks to assume Hillary would just beat him. Dangerous, lazy, hopeful complacency.

She's got a better shot than Biden, but we still don't need to be making up reasons to give Dems a sloppy toppy. Let them actually do some shit before you heap on the praise.
