No, Biden should send in the military and arrest politicians for treason for not following federal laws and encouraging and enabling others to not follow those laws.

And thus deliver the election to Republicans on a silver platter.

So we should go back to weed and shrooms being straight up illegal countrywide then?

You think people in California aren't being arrested by the feds for weed?

Not that I agree with the person you're responding to but this is unheard of so long as you're simply possessing or growing it, and not doing so in amounts that would be considered intent to distribute. At which point the state government would get you first anyway because it's ultimately their taxes.

The last Californian in prison for federal marijuana charges was released in 2023. I can't even find an article referencing any federal arrests in California, or any data, that weren't giant illegal grow ops or smuggling of ridiculous amounts of weed. The feds don't give a shit and probably want it legalized so they can deal with shit that actually matters. After all 54% of Americans live in recreationally legal states, and 74% in medically legal states.

You can also just mail order hemp-derived delta 8 if you're really concerned because that's legal at the federal level.
