President Joe Biden, in a video posted Thursday on X, touted the proposal as “an important move toward reversing longstanding inequities.”
“Look folks, no one should be in jail for merely using or possessing marijuana. Period,” he said. “Far too many lives have been upended because of a failed approach to marijuana, and I’m committed to righting those wrongs.”
Has anyone suggested rescheduling it would be akin to decriminalizing? I mean, maybe if it was moved to schedule v.
I think generally people have been reacting to this by pointing out it should just be descheduled.
Biden has been blurring the line using decriminalization in conjunction with these plans:

But simply changing the schedule is not the same thing.
