1. That's good. Even though I know that pot use is against federal law, it seemed unduly harsh.

I can see a ban on current use, but past use seemed too much.

2. No doubt this will be used as bait for repug attack ads

In 3, 2, 1...

3. That's why we need a federal law making it legal,

or at least moving it off the scheduled list and and removing penalties for cannabis use. There are Republicans as well as Democrats who would support this. We would not only save a lot of money from no longer paying to incarcerate all these people, we would also stop destroying lives by locking people up for years and disenfranchising them and ruining their job prospects. This would be a great relief to a lot of disadvantaged groups in our country, including the poor and minorities.

4. The one thing I totally disagreed with Biden on and thought was stupid. Poof... All gone. Back to,

not a single thing at this point I do not think Biden has exceled at. Good for Biden, or whomever took care of this issues. Not even close to a game breaker, but it was stupid to fire people because of pot. I am happy they corrected this or fixed it to allow even pot or x pot smokers a job.
