[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Joe Biden has been accused of yet another election year ploy to appeal to younger voters with his historic move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.
| And also those Baby Boomers nostalgic for the follies of their youth. |
It would not legalize the drug nationally, but instead change legal restrictions surrounding its use and study.
Critics say his campaign is 'grasping at straws' to find new ways to reverse his declining youth support and believe it could increase drug use across the country.
Biden has already forgiven more than $160 billion in student loans, after wiping $6 billion more for 317,000 students who went to art school.
Republican strategist Curt Anderson told DailyMail.com: 'Legalizing drugs makes America more lethargic and dumber, which obviously helps the Biden campaign.'
Democrats meanwhile have said the move is a long time coming and follows on from Biden pardoning all minor federal marijuana convictions.
