Biden's Response is a Part of the Ongoing Problem

"The Rules are the Rules..." 

...because myself and a many other white politicians created laws based on this minority suppressing campaign we called War on Drugs.  

That should have and would have been a more appropriate follow up to Bo Erickson's question to the President about Track star Sha'Carri Richardson being banned from competing. Instead, President Biden responded with, “the rules are the rules and everybody knows what the rules were going in,”.

It baffles me that people can still deny the benefits of a plant that has NEVER killed anyone, but at the same time are okay with tobacco and the prescription pills that combined take around 500,000 lives.  

One of the reasons our progression in the cannabis space is slow is because of statements like this [from the “leader of the Free world”]. If you can’t take a stance on something this clear, what will you stand up for?  

This is why we still have 40,000 people incarcerated for non-violent cannabis offenses across the US. Well, that and our for-profit prison systems. Why do our leaders continue to fail us?
