Would someone please explain to me why Biden

...I'd think implementing that huge policy change would need to coordinate with states to make certain it doesn't conflict with other initiatives, and meshes well with existing state regulations.

Mostly, though, he's likely waiting for Congress to develop a consensus on their own bill. I'd guess he doesn't want to preempt that effort with his own executive action.

But he doesn't really support full legalization yet, I think.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki indicated Friday that Biden does not support the bill — without explicitly saying so — but added that he would support some reforms.

“As the president said during the campaign, our current marijuana laws are not working,” Psaki said. “He agrees that we need to rethink our approach, including to address the racial disparities and systemic inequities in our criminal justice system, broaden research on the effects of marijuana and support the safe use of marijuana for medical purposes.”

Psaki added, “We look forward to working with Congress to achieve our shared goals and we’ll continue having discussions with them about this objective.”
