While I would like to see the decriminalization of all drugs, I do not think President should act like an emperor and just pass EOs. EO are not meant for this sort of actions. Remember, next president is going to be Trump and he can pass even worse EOs.

I do not buy this excuse. One party has no hangups about issuing ridiculous EOs. The other should rid itself of its hangups in issuing rational humanitarian EOs, because that results in the best outcome for humanity.

Ultimately they did not do that because they expect this cannabis inevitability to be disruptive and want the rollout to appease the pharmaceutical companies that donate to their campaigns.
