Since the government puts the DEA in charge of drug scheduling, and the DEA is staffed to put people in jail over cannabis, I don’t see the DEA changing anything because they could never justify their huge budget and staff after. The only real way to get it done is to pass a bill in congress and have a president who will sign it. We all know how that goes.

A very good point!
What will all of the prisons for profit do when their cash cow is no longer paying dividends? :thinking:
And all of those poor probation/drug testing facilities will lose soo much money too.
I feel so bad for them…NOT! :sunglasses:

Oh don’t worry about the prisons they will find a way to make money.

“Both agencies are on record with a strong and compelling analysis of why marijuana should remain Schedule 1.”

I would love to hear these lies… :money_mouth_face:

according to an analysis from NORML that again calls into question critics’ claims that cannabis is insufficiently studied to be legalized.

“It is time for politicians and others to stop assessing cannabis through the lens of ‘what we don’t know’ and instead start engaging in evidence-based discussions about marijuana and marijuana reform policies that are indicative of all that we do know,” he said.

Cannabis-policy reforms in Africa have mostly benefited investors and consumers in wealthy countries, not Africans. :thinking:

Reforms should enable Africans to enjoy these advantages.
