Pennsylvania Lt. Gov John Fetterman is pressing President Joe Biden to decriminalize marijuana ahead of Biden’s visit to Pittsburgh on Labor Day.
Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for Senate, made the call Monday after being asked if he would appear with Biden at the annual Labor Day parade. Fetterman’s campaign said he’s looking forward to seeing Biden there and speaking to him about cannabis decriminalization.
“The president needs to use his executive authority to begin descheduling marijuana, I would love to see him do this prior to his visit to Pittsburgh,” Fetterman said on Twitter. “This is just common sense and Pennsylvanians overwhelmingly support decriminalizing marijuana.”
