GOP Congressman Jokes Biden Missed Rescheduling Due to Autopen Issues

It is open season on the previous administration as GOP lawmakers push President Trump to finalize marijuana rescheduling. Representative Randy Fine recently ribbed the former president, joking that the Biden team simply couldn't find their "autopen" in time to finish the job. While the move from Schedule I to Schedule III was initiated under Biden, it hit a standstill, leaving a golden opportunity for the current administration to claim a major win for patients and veterans.

Congressmen like Fine and Brian Mast are highlighting how this shift would finally allow for real medical research and fix the unfair tax burdens currently crushing legal state businesses. While Trump has signaled support, the community is still waiting for a definitive signature. For everyday tokers, this is a massive deal because rescheduling means legitimizing the medicine millions rely on and potentially lowering costs by allowing dispensaries to operate like normal businesses. It’s high time the federal government catches up to the reality of the culture, and seeing bipartisan pressure build is a promising sign for better access.
