Attorney General Merrick Garland circulated this proposal yesterday (30 April) to Congress. When/if published in the Federal Register, it would initiate a formal rulemaking process as prescribed by Congress in the Controlled Substances Act. (OMB, public comment period, judicial review)

This is another move by the Biden Admin to stem the losses of the youth vote.

Just the first step to totally legalizing it. As if we didn’t have enough drug addicts in America.

You can be high on marijuana 24/7, but you can’t buy Ivermectin.

Why not? The criminal shrinks are saying the psychedelics are beneficial. Everything goes now.

The big thing is it’s way fewer governmental hoops to go through to do experiments and studies with it. Having pot schedule 1 was always stupid. Schedule 1 is for the big nasty highly addictive things.

The Big Guy clearly thinks it will get him ten million votes that he wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

CNN:

“Currently, 24 states, two territories and DC have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use, and 38 states allow medical use of cannabis products, according to data from the National Conference of State Legislatures. State-licensed cannabis dispensaries and retail shops are expected to generate $32.1 billion in sales this year...

...However, rescheduling marijuana will not solve that federal-state conflict, the Congressional Research Service noted in a January 16 brief. The manufacture, distribution and possession of recreational marijuana would remain illegal under federal law and possibly subject to enforcement and prosecution regardless of the state’s legality.”

(Note: Use would likely continue as a disqualification to buy firearms)

The genisis of the WODs was white politicians making ‘jazz cabbage’ illegal because they were afraid of black men being with white women.

Its utter nonsense about weed being a class 1 when alchohol is basically unregulated.

RIDICULOUS!

It, the Devils lettuce, can be purchased, gotten, had, anywhere, anytime, anyplace now.

What baffles me is why the gubment has not legalized it and then proceed to tax it to the extreme. Just like cigarettes and alcohol.

They couldn’t care less about the ramifications, just seems they would want the revenue.

The slow decline of civilization speeds up a little. The competency crisis worsens. The whole country will soon smell like California and Colorado.

It means when enough users have toked themselves into befuddled unemployability, marijuana dependency (like alcoholism was) will be declared a disease and our tax money will be diverted to their support. A behavior becomes an illness and we get to pay for it.
