It’s just a weed....but advocates played a little game in order to make it legal..(which was the intent of medical MJ)
Well now they have layed the foundation for legalization with regulation, by the FDA.
Personally I would not put it in the same class as synthetic opioids like Oxy codone..I would put it in the lesser restricted class as tramadol. (a much less problematic pain drug)
I think the real point here is exactly what is the drug for..
Recreation or medicine.
If it is a medicine it can be made legal but regulated and that regulation needs to be consistent across state lines. FDA does that.
If it’s a recreational drug, then it can’t be legal and we will continue this nonsense until someone with balls ends it.
You can’t have it both ways..It can’t work that way..But it seems to me that “both ways” is exactly what users want, and it’s not going to happen. It will be fraught with constant issues, interferences, and legal cases.
If it’s a recreational drug, then it can’t be legal and we will continue this nonsense until someone with balls ends it.
False dichotomy. It doesn't have to be an "either/or" question, and the fallacy is easily demonstrated. Alcohol is used both recreationally and medicinally.
So you side with fedgov at the expense of the 10th Amendment.
