As the political landscape continues to shift in the US, one issue that has gained significant attention is the legalization and decriminalization of cannabis.
On the campaign trail in 2021, Biden promised to decriminalize cannabis on a federal level. He has failed to follow through.
The last several years saw several more states legalize cannabis for recreational or medical use, and with President Joe Biden taking office, many are wondering if he will take steps towards federal legalization or decriminalization.
A step forward was when Joe Biden has officially signed a marijuana research bill into law.

One theory that has been proposed is that rescheduling cannabis could bring younger voters out to the polls.
Currently, cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, making it difficult for researchers to study and businesses to operate legally. Rescheduling could lead to significant benefits for researchers, businesses, and communities disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition.
Thankfully, there are several bills making their way up the hill including the SAFE Banking package, the Veterans Equal Access Act, the PREPARE Act, and the Veterans Medical Marijuana Safe Harbor Act.
In a recent poll, it showed that two thirds of Americans support cannabis legalization. By taking a bold stance on cannabis, Biden could demonstrate his commitment to progressive values and win over a key demographic that will be crucial to upcoming presidential elections.
