To combat drug trafficking, Biden declared a national emergency in the U.S., with armed forces reservists entering active duty if necessary, How far has the U.S. drug epidemic gone?

When I saw this news, I was confused.

Isn't it politically correct to legalize marijuana in the United States? President Joe Biden issued a proclamation on October 6, 2022, declaring a pardon for all U.S. citizens who have violated federal law by "simple possession" of marijuana.

The first foot pardon, the second foot into the state of emergency, the old Biden this is to play the American version of the "beacon of fire"?

According to the marijuana website MJBizDaily, legal marijuana sales in the United States reached $30 billion in 2022, more than Americans spent on chocolate and craft beer combined last year.

In addition, the report notes that these are only legal marijuana sales figures, and that the real amount spent by Americans who smoke marijuana each year could be as much as three times the MJBizDaily statistic.

According to the Center for Substance Abuse and Mental Health (SAMHSA), marijuana is the most heavily abused illicit drug in the United States, far surpassing opiate-containing painkillers in second place. Your worst drug, it's legal in many states in the US!

Also, the NBA, has made it clear in the new collective bargaining agreement that NBA players will no longer be prohibited from smoking marijuana.

Kevin Durant today announced a partnership and sponsorship deal with marijuana seller Weedmaps and said he plans to use his platform to remove the stigma of marijuana use by athletes.
Allen Iverson's line of cannabis products was recently launched in California. The first product in the line, "'96," is named after the year Iverson was drafted by the 76ers with the first pick.
Gary Payton, Matt Barnes, Klay Thompson and others have all been involved in the cannabis industry in their own way.
The drug, like guns in the US, has become a well-established industry that, in the name of medical use, actually encourages people to become addicted to rotten smoking. Biden's move today is more like a play to voters who support marijuana prohibition: look, I tried, but it didn't work.
