Now suddenly she’s insisting it has to be scheduled 1 even though literal medical experts and the president are telling her to deschedule?
There’s no world where you honestly believe federal agencies should be ran like that, answering to no one and ignoring science for personal beliefs that change without explanation
Congress is the problem with your proposal. Descheduling can be done by an agreement of HHS and the DEA. Congress needs to pass decriminalization for it to get to the president for approval.
Although the President may not unilaterally deschedule or reschedule a controlled substance, he does possess a large degree of indirect influence over scheduling decisions. The President could pursue the appointment of agency officials who favor descheduling, or use executive orders to direct DEA, HHS, and FDA to consider administrative descheduling of marijuana. The notice-and-comment rulemaking process would take time, and would be subject to judicial review if challenged, but could be done consistently with the CSA’s procedural requirements. In the alternative, the President could work with Congress to pursue descheduling through an amendment to the CSA.

Yes, he could just replace the head of the DEA for non-compliance with his request. No, that’s not good leadership.
Why not?
It’s what voters want, it’s what health experts say, and it would be a giant economic boom
Like, you realize decriminalization was one of his campaign promises, and then he appointed the current head of the DEA, right?
Did it just not come up at all while he was looking at candidates?
BTW:
Did you know she used to be pro medical and wanted people in her state to grow their own?

That’s exactly what I wrote. lol
Descheduling is done through HHS and DEA.
Decriminalizing is done through Congress.
We’re done here.
