Like, if a politician came to me and said ‘I’m going to do everything you like, not because I believe it, but because it will make you vote for me’ I would be perfectly happy to give that person my vote.
somewhere, one of the herschels is nodding.

Very smart move. Two things I really like about this: (1) It is totally within Biden's power under the constitution-he doesn't have to get congressional approval, hope that the courts allow what he did, etc. and (2) if the GOP claims this is an abuse of pardon power how about all the pardons Donald issued to political allies for pure political reasons?

Very well played. Who knows, maybe someday the USA will reach the level we should have been at back in 1980 or so.

Have you ever seen anyone on weed? Ive had the displeasure of trying to business with someone who had recently smoked. I was trying to place an order and they could not even understand basic things. In between the stupid laughing and incoherence it was a bad trip man.

Not for them.

We've owned a service business for many many years and I would rather deal with a million toked out people than a dozen drunks. The drunks get argumentative and sometimes violent. The high people might buy too much food. It's not even close.
