Biden administration plans to reclassify marijuana, easing restrictions nationwide WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The DEA is expected to reschedule it into a category that includes Tylenol and steroids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 The article isn't clear on the timeline for this. But I'd assume the idea is to have this go through right before the election? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It really shouldn’t even be scheduled that high. Also, the blurb for the hyperlink is misleading, Tylenol is not schedule 3, that’s Tylenol w/Codeine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It's honestly hard to believe it's taken this long. This as seemed like an obvious move for so long. I didn't realize that this alone will help with tax issues for marijuana companies in legal states. That's definitely a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Just read the entire article and “it’s a start” More research material being available is great and should help it eventually get out of schedule III. It should be treated like tobacco/alcohol and look into the research of the legal states/countries that have legalized it already to see the harm it might of caused. Via health alerts (people calling panicking being high) or injuries from being intoxicated. Plus crimes/driving intoxicated incidents could also be studied. Watching local Toronto news since legalization have shown many times more drunk accidents to being high. They happen but hardly in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The most important part for me (not that I'd ever use the damned thing at all) is allowing research as to finally attempt to obtain empirical evidence as to the degree of harm/benefit its use entails. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we just got the FTC to reinstate net neutrality so this tracks. Interesting that when Trump wanted things, things moved fast.

In recent months they believe that the plant might actual be a key sealant for the push in greater range for battery power vehicles. Apparently the cannabis/hemp adhesive was much more efficient in keeping battery power leakage from happening, non combustible (see Grand Tour) and could possible double and triple the range a battery can go on a single charge. Probably would have happened sooner with more access to the plant, and this is t even for health. I know it helps me and others I share with greatly Will Hemp Make EV Batteries Better?

The wall? I don't think he really got that. Some parts were kinda built? Infrastructure? That could have been an easy early win, but he never got it. Affordable Care Act repeal? Couldn't get it. Family separation policy? He walked it back in weeks. Paris Agreement? Took Trump fives months to leave it and Biden a few weeks to return to it. Much of what Trump did was via agency leadership and executive orders. But in the past week, look at everything that's happened in the quest to fix things: noncompete clauses were eliminated (yes, this will be going to the courts), marijuana will be reclassified, airline passengers will get automatic refunds for canceled flights, and overtime rules have been strengthened. Sometimes, doing the work to fix things provides great results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they said that about Obama supporting gay marriage in 2012. Years prior, it was all about how America didn't want it and kept voting to ban it in state after state. Then it turned into exactly what you said. And you STILL have Republican judges talking about repealing gay marriage protections. It's fortunate Biden signed a bill to protect anyone who marries someone of the same sex to protect people who get married where it's legal (Respect for Marriage Act). While it doesn't make gay marriage legal in all 50 states, it's at least treated like a driver's license; you get it in one state, it's recognized in all others.

silentbob Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Weird bump but I thought it was worth mentioning. This past week another marijuana company on my growdiaries offered me free seeds to grow, in exchange for keeping diaries on all them. So in your president’s honour and because it’s election season. I’m gonna be growing SLEEPY JOE. . . . and a few others Spoiler Death Star, Pennywise, and Fat Bastard for weedseedexpress. Two more sponsored grows of Slapz and Trop Cherry for Original Sensible Seeds. Plus Coco Melon, Alaskan Thunder Fuck, and Cloudwalker that’s have been sitting in my collection 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
