      He could absolutely put out a memo saying “if a DEA agent makes a weed arrest they will be fired” as an officer action. And besides, democrats presidents have been promising to reschedule for coming on 20 years now, the process can’t be 20-years complicated.

        Actually up until about a decade or so ago it had been Republicans who were promising to reschedule weed. The Democrats had been firmly against it until very very recently.

      Then why are they even talking about it? They haven’t the power to do anything about it, so stop claiming you will do it.

      They’re immune from persecution for official acts, though

      Demand it be rescheduled, send the military to the houses of those responsible, shoot one for every hour it’s not done

        The president is immune from prosecution for any official acts. There’s nothing that can stop them from being persecuted for them.
