Why it matters: Sen. Elizabeth Warren discussed her push to deschedule cannabis and revealed her “dream blunt rotation” on the Pod Save America podcast.
What they are saying: Warren is calling for the DEA to deschedule marijuana altogether, not just move it to a different schedule. She highlighted the need for regulations similar to alcohol but emphasized the importance of moving forward with descheduling.
The big picture: Warren’s push to deschedule cannabis is part of a larger effort by several lawmakers to remove cannabis entirely from the list of controlled substances. This move could have a significant impact on communities and public opinion.
What to watch: Whether the Biden administration will respond to Warren’s push to deschedule cannabis, and how this issue will play out in the upcoming general election. The survey results showing increased favorability for Biden if cannabis is rescheduled could be an important factor to consider.
My take: It is interesting to see Warren’s approach to the cannabis issue and how it ties into broader efforts to reform drug laws. Descheduling cannabis could have positive outcomes for communities and public opinion, and it will be important to see how this issue progresses in the coming months.
