Said on Ask a Pol drugs

“Of course, I will always welcome a descheduling of marijuana from Schedule I. I will be supportive of that, because it … reduces that harm but it doesn’t quite make all of the wrongs right.” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ask a Pol drugs
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez · 30 Apr 2026 Listen →
“Speaker Johnson doesn’t have the pen on executive orders. … So if he wants to try to pass some legislation and whip his entire Republican caucus into doing that, I mean, that’s well within his power and his right. I don’t think that’s going to pass, though.” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Mike Johnson, Ask a Pol drugs
