The Biden administration wants to make it easier for people to use marijuana without breaking the law. This is different from the rules we've had for a long time. They talked about it on a podcast called "The Daily."
In some states, the rules about marijuana have changed, but the national government has kept strict rules. They say marijuana is as bad as drugs like heroin and LSD. This has led to big punishments for people who use it, even though some states say it's okay.
Now, the Biden administration wants to change the rules. They want to say marijuana isn't as bad as those other drugs. They hope this will make it easier for people who need it for medical reasons. It won't make marijuana legal everywhere, but it might make it less risky to use.
Changing the rules might also help scientists study marijuana more. This could show that it's safe and useful for more people. It might also help businesses that sell marijuana, because they could get tax breaks.
But some people are still not sure if the government will really make big changes. President Biden has been strict about crime in the past. Even though more people want the rules to change, he might still be careful about it.
So, the government is thinking about making new rules about marijuana. They're talking to people and trying to figure out what to do. It's a big deal because it might change how we think about marijuana in the United States.
