Just a heads up: reclassifying marijuana is the majority position and decidedly moderate in 2024.

Reclassifying marijuana would make it legal for recreational use, and that only barely a majority position even in 2024: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/03/26/most-america... (about 57%). More than a quarter of Biden’s own party still opposes such a move.

I guess it depends on how you define “moderate.” I’d say it’s something the middle third of the public agrees with. Marijuana isn’t there yet.

Looking at those stats, only 11% fully oppose. The 57% is for recreation and medical, 32% for only medical. So it seems like your bending the truth for your argument, which doesn't surprise me since you're a lawyer.

Schedule 3 is the same as ketamine, hardly "legal for recreational use". Rescheduling marijuana is a milquetoast moderate move far short of legalization.

Except they aren't legalizing it for recreational use, only medical usage.
