  Attorney General can't do shit about that other than give an order to look at it, not full on reschedule it because the attorney general doesn't have that power, which they can then "take" and stall into oblivion.

  We just call our kids 'The Brave' so we don't have to think too much about trying to recognize school shootings don't need to be a thing >
  
  I for one am glad that tax dollars are funding police to go after dangerous hardened criminals, like checks paper a terminal ill cancer patient vaping weed.

  Why hasn’t Biden rescheduled cannabis yet? I get that he and Kamala are very pro-police, but the War on Drugs is a clear failure. >
  
  He only has indirect control of it happening. A lot of it, because he's the president, but not everyone who works for the presidency is loyal to the president, especially at this point in time. Like, he straight up doesn't trust the secret service enough to speak openly around them after the Jan 6 cover-ups. A lot of people are actively fighting any progress even under him, and he doesn't have immediate say. >
  
  Does he not have the power to fire those people? Like, he is in charge of who is in charge of the department of justice, so what's the holdup? >
  
  Nope. Can't say for certain about whatever department is in charge of rescheduling drugs, but the USSS only "listens" to the head of the Department of Homeland Security - as in, they explicitly refuse to take orders from the president or anyone under their "protection" - and they have a horrible track record of even listening to the DHS. They're effectively loose cannons. Biden can order a clear out of them, I think, but they normally just shuffle each other around, and bring more MAGAts in, because they have final say over who takes their place.
  Did some research, the people in charge of rescheduling drugs are the DEA, who in turn report to the attorney general. AGs basically never force anyone to do anything without going to court, and again, the DEA mainly only reports to them, they can choose to take orders, but they have a concerning amount of power to just... Do as they wish.
  Moral of the story, the president only really has indirect power over things except executive orders, and only has semi-direct power if the people who he can't easily get rid of are loyal to the office and just the person. >
  
  So you're telling me that if the president ordered the AG to deschedule it, the DEA would just refuse to listen to them?
