US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana

It's actually wild what the executive can get done in an election year... With the side effect of dangling bait for legislators to take a contrarian, nationally unpopular position.

Election year and not to mention that the President's numbers are in shambles with younger voters. This move feels extremely transparent to me.

Well I mean: doing things that people want them to do to get elected. Not the worst problem?

It’s pandering and on the edge of buying votes. Unlike Student Loan “forgiveness” which was a direct purchase of a vote.

And no I doubt this will rouse the pot smokers to vote, perhaps mail in, as they don’t have to do actually anything.

It's wild to me that people think "buying votes" is a bad thing. The whole point of democracy is to align the interests of the state's leaders to its population. If anything, politicians don't buy votes often enough!
