Bernie Sanders Wants To Legalize Pot On Day One. Can He?

The video discusses Bernie Sanders' plan to legalize marijuana through an executive order on his first day in office. However, experts argue that legalizing marijuana with a single executive order is not feasible due to the required administrative process. The process involves the Department of Health and Human Services and the Drug Enforcement Administration, with the attorney general making the final decision. While Sanders' plan may not be achievable on day one, it could expedite the process, encouraging Congress and states to align with federal policy. The video also highlights the potential impact of descheduling marijuana on state laws.
