 The Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), Dr. Rahul Gupta, nicknamed the country’s “Drug Czar”, recently spoke to Financial Times about the President’s stance on cannabis reform.
Gupta spoke about how the Biden administration is watching the states where cannabis use has been legalized. He said, “We’re learning from those states.” and “We’re monitoring the data and trying to see where things go.“ He also gave some hope that there will be some positive change coming at some point, when he said, “But one thing is very clear, and the president has been clear about that—the policies that we’ve had around marijuana have not been working.” President Biden had run his campaign on a platform of cannabis decriminalization, but he still remains opposed to adult-use legalization and has yet to take meaningful action on his prior pledges for decriminalization.
