WASHINGTON — The Biden administration will take a historic step toward easing federal restrictions on cannabis, with plans to announce an interim rule soon reclassifying the drug for the first time since the Controlled Substances Act was enacted more than 50 years ago, four sources with knowledge of the decision said.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is expected to approve an opinion by the Department of Health and Human Services that marijuana should be reclassified from the strictest Schedule I to the less stringent Schedule III. It would be the first time that the U.S. government has acknowledged its potential medical benefits and begun studying them in earnest. [...]

Weed is the gateway but the two states with the most OD deaths per capita are not CA, CO, OR, WA or the weed states-
that must make sense somewhere.
You’re siding with in essence Pfizer, Asta Zeneca etc...the same folks that corrupted the govt with the clot shot.
The personal insults=surrender noted.
It’s like the end of The Usual Suspects:
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
They try this with it’s ‘not addictive’ but they know they can’t stop it. They’re evil, that’s all there is to it and want to spread their disease like trannies and fags want to spread the gay stuff.
I didn’t say that it led to more or less OD deaths, I meant it leads to awful leftwing hell holes, and you just listed them.
You’re pushing that for the whole country, full leftwing hell.
It means that independent labs will test anything that is sent to them for a fee.
Potheads are paranoid and send in samples to be tested for THC levels, heavy metals and pesticides.
These tests almost always come up negative.
The pharmaceutical companies are growing their own hybrids and are expecting to make millions from legal marijuana.
Food is addictive to some people, that doesn’t in and of itself make food addictive.
Potheads take tolerance breaks to reduce their tolerance levels. That flies in the face of it being addictive.
Do you have some citations about that. I know a few, and have been exposed to a few more, and none have ever mentioned that. In fact, because of the media, most of them don’t think there could be any negative effects of marijuana. Governments and the media promote it as a panacea.
I’ve only heard of benzo and opioid users taking tolerance breaks, although not by that term.
Tolerance break, laughable.
And tolerance itself is one of the main definitions of something being addictive.
Your pot addled brain ain’t working so great. You are why this stuff needs capital punishment on a justified state level.
The NY Rockefeller Drug laws which became the Federal Controlled Substances Act resulted in incarceration nation or monetizing and institutionalizing misery.
The refrain is similar to the communists. Despite insane incarceration rates and drug addicts, we just need another chance to do it the right way.
Aftr they lost the prohibition battle,big pharma is now going to make obscene money on a weed?
Something that can literally be grown anywhere?
It’s akin to “weed kingpin” a largely mythical creature that pops here from time to time.
The idiots that bought the weed stocks are finally learning the difficulty that big pharma will be facing.
Your drug directly takes away you ability to think and be a free person. You’re an addict. It has nothing to do with communists. IF anything, it’s like ‘Soma’ which was seen as an agent to spread government control in the end.
This is a case, when it comes to anti-weed, when the government legit tried to save yourself from yourself.
But people are too damn stupid and use anyway.
Oh no, they were working on it years before that. In fact, they funded legalization.
Have to catch you tomorrow.
The most obviously stupid thing about weed pushers is that they said if it’s legal, since it grows easy, that means.. I don’t know, that incentive to push it would decrease?
Weed has an unlimited demand. People, once hooked, will want it constantly. The weed companies could make it cheaper, but the supply is still limited so there’s been very little change in prices.
Even if legal, the culture doesn’t really want it ‘legal’. They want to go behind the scenes and buy it illegally. It’s part of the whole weed culture mentality to be ‘progressive’ and ‘stand up to the power’ which is also how leftists think.
I’m interested in pro esports. they post the tests every now and then in streams/chats.
Weed is not harmless. I told you previously that rec states saw a 5% increase in fatal car accidents. It is obv psychoactive which can create harm but more often magnifies already existent medical issues in some users.
so how long does a person have to stop using before you say maybe it is not addictive?
a lot of things are addictive if a person have an addictive personality. i do not crave it at all if i stop. in fact i’m taking a 2 weeks vacation now in midwest in a no weed state. no problem for me, i’m touring distilleries that this place is famous for, bourbon.
i don’t think i have a strong addictive trait, when i was 40 i realized cigarette isn’t good and quit cold turkey. i do think i probably wouldn’t be able to quit either alcohol or heroin as they seem to be extremely difficult to quit, causing major withdrawal pain to your body. i do drink mead on occasion since recently discovered a local meadary (used to make my own mead when i was younger).
and for those addicts in CA, CO, who care about those poor people right? i don’t, they made a bad choice moving into harder stuff like meth and fenty, and i doubt they vote.
I’m very glad president trump will probably leave it up to the states, thought i do wish he distance himself from LGB, and cut off T completely but that’s another post. I did chuckle when president trump told ron to partake some edibles while desantis was in Nevada.
It’s always fun.
so how long does a person have to stop using before you say maybe it is not addictive?
Possibly years? If there’s any inclination to reuse that’s at least a psychological addiction. It’s artificial pleasure for the weed users, so of course it’s addictive.
DUH
“and for those addicts in CA, CO, who care about those poor people right? i don’t, they made a bad choice moving into harder stuff like meth and fenty, and i doubt they vote.”
Depopulate them is fine, but the use and it spreads to other voters that will be more leftist.
This thread was started by a hardcore leftist, so.. I figure Trump has probably used weed. I’m sure all these so-called ‘conservatives’ have used THC. Well, that’s a big hit on their judgement ability to not use in the first place which is a bit how I think that in the end none of this really matters much.
I’m not going to hold it against a very successful businessman who takes thc to unwind. and you know what, you’re right, it doesn’t matter in the end.
i also remember a medication that i used to take that is definitely addictive and I think were more difficult for me to quit and did affect me negatively. It is Ambien. that’s one medication that i wished i’ve never heard of.
it works great getting you to sleep but when i try to quit after long term use, i can’t get any sleep at all. even staying awake for 2 long days feeling like crap, in the end, i had to slowly ween myself off by reducing the dosage by half and then every other day before i’m free of it.
i still have insomnias some days, like right now. so the temptation to ask my dr. for Ambien is still there.
Ambien is nasty, cause it works best than most and also causes a lot of problems.
Weed isn’t any better though. Good luck on normalizing or getting off ambien.
The thing is.. Weed is worse than it. Do you see entire societies and cultures going on in support of Ambien? You do with weed. Weed is a political force. If ambien was banned, nobody would complain lol.
