    But yes, realistically this should just be seen as a mainly symbolic first step rather than as a fundamental change in itself.

    More like platitudes to get more votes from the uninforned

      Perhaps, but the discussion I’m currently seeing on Reddit shows that people are aware that ultimately it’s up to the states to make meaningful changes on the number of people incarcerated for marijuana possession, as well as other progress on marijuana policy. Biden’s banking on it to a certain extent, since it brings up a winning issue in a number of close races. This is an issue where the Republican party has lagged behind even their own voters, so it gives the Democrats some advantage.

        I was just reading the discussion on reddit and it feels like a bunch of gpt3 bots going at it.
