Does anyone have any thoughts on rescheduling to #3?
I personally don’t feel cannabis is more addicting than than xanax, atavan, darvocet, soma ect.?
Do you?
By rescheduling to #3 are we not just replacing the old lies with new and improved lies?
Why do we tolerate such lies?
I feel this move is being made for the sake of those who invested money in cannabis.
This is not at all about doing what is right for the people, it is about filling your pockets with cash.
There are many negetive implications with rescheduling to #3.
Let us talk more about that.

Moving to schedule 3 isn’t enough. We need full descheduling.
If alcohol and tobacco aren’t anywhere on the list, there is no way that cannabis should be either.
Xanax is way worse than cannabis in terms of addiction and danger. I’m sure yeah people smoke weed and do some stupid things but I think that more relies on a people problem and the person probably would have done the stupid thing anyway. I haven’t witnessed cannabis change anybody negatively like I have with xanax… Around here, people are barred out on the Xans acting like zombies.
Also, Xanax will/can give you nasty withdrawals, potentially fatal just like alcohol if stopped suddenly.
I feel like if they move it to schedule 3, then they’ll just make up more bullshit about it. Place other ways to control it, I feel ALL homegrow will be taken away. Its definitely being controlled by and for money.
My grandfather always used to tell me… “money goes to money.” In my younger years I never really understood it, but I certainly do now.
I keep hearing the moving it to 3 would be a “step” in the right direction towards full legalization but I don’t feel that way. Who’s to say they don’t just leave it there? Or how long will they drag their feel because they feel 3 is good enough?

Roe v. Wade (2022) reaffirmed States rights. That means that the fed can eat a bag!

@shag I wish we DIDN’T have to talk about stuff like this. We know it’s not stopping there. No way there’s not some underlying BS motive… involving $.

I don’t think either party’s politicians have legal homegrowing even on their radar. I’ve redacted the rest of my message because even discussing the different outlooks of the two parties seems likely to blow the thread up, but I don’t think homegrowing is going to be federally legal for decades. I hope I’m wrong. I do think enforcement budgets are going to continue dropping, if nothing else.

With clowns like this who no doubt make $$$$$ off of keeping prisons full, who knows! But he’s going to have a hell of a time getting legal states to override voter rights!

A lot of the “studies” about “illegal” cannabis were on seeded central american brick garbage - of course the popular factoid of “NEW WEED IS WAY STRONGER THAN YOUR HIPPY PARENTS HAD” became super popular…total misunderstanding. Actual sensi been fantastic and strong for hundreds/thousands of years best we can tell.
Only smart thing I ever heard about academic/gummint studies:
if you torture the numbers hard enough they’ll say whatever you want them to

you’ve just described american politics for the last 100+ years, if not the entirety of it. hard to say in the beginning, at least one of the constitutional attendees was for sure. if you disagree with that, look at the bill of rights. the only time during the whole of the document they said anything about rights of people and notice they were left out of the entire thing and had to be added as an after thought.
not really, it just showed exactly how corrupt the system is.

Everything is about 
Criminalization The second that making it legal and decriminalized makes more it will magically happen. Until then, move west. Voters decide.

I can see now why cannabis legalization is all about the money.

I moved from a legal state to a illegal state and back to a legal state again all within the last ten years. It was very strange going backwards.
