Everyone's doing "OK boomer" dunks on Biden for this but if you actually watch the clip (and/or do some research), his position on marijuana is quite a bit further to the left than you'd assume from the headlines.
Biden's position on pot seems to be:
—Decriminalize nationally
—Legalize medical nationally
—Let states legalize recreational
—Release all people with pot convictions from jail
—Remove pot from Sched 1.
—Do more research to see long-term harm potential/if it's a "gateway drug"
Granted, politicians have been way way WAY behind the public on pot legalization. But Biden's position is, on several of the points above, a few steps to the left of the Democratic Party platform in 2016, for instance. It's quite a bit to the left of Obama's when he was POTUS.
