    Much lower considering rescheduling marijuana is a basic government act and not a ridiculously unlikely astronomical event. Also, it would gain Biden a lot of votes.

      And send the theocracy into a rage in another dimension, one in which they wouldn’t be sure why their hair is falling out

        As far as I understand it, the DEA has the independence to make the decision themselves and all the president can do is tell them what he wants.

          It is, but Biden could be using the bully pulpit to talk about how it should be rescheduled and I think the only reason he hasn’t is because he’s old and he hasn’t been convinced yet that “reefer” is safe.
