Well that debate was certainly hard to watch. And made even harder with no mention of cannabis throughout its 90-minute runtime.
However, it seems like maybe touting the administration’s approach to marijuana was part of the plan of accomplishments, considering a webpage was introduced to Biden’s website on the day of the debate.
On the page, Biden touts progress made under his term. “…since taking office, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have led the most significant federal reform to our nation’s approach to marijuana in history.”
It goes on to speak about to talk about the rescheduling that is expected to happen some time this year, and to contrast their approach with Trump’s.
“Donald Trump opposes marijuana reform and, as president, made the failed approach worse.”
The debate last night was no doubt a disaster for the president, and while any remarks on marijuana probably wouldn’t have changed very much, it is one of the issues that he has a chance to get some voters on his side over Trump’s.
