    The DEA’s proposal, which still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nation’s most dangerous drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use.

    I am really sorry for those of you who use it recreationally, because it deserves to be legal for you too, but as a medical user in a non-legal state, this is amazing news.

      One step closer, IMO id rather medical people get it first ASAP anyways. Us recreational users have fun with it and it’s far better than say alcohol for a good time, but at the end of the day I don’t need it.

      I think someone said the whatever agency needs to reclassify it before legalization can happen. I have no idea why or how it works. But this could be the start of legalization from Congress.

      ~~Fucking Biden must be about to unleash some truly heinous shit, if he’s playing this card ~~

      I withdraw this on the basis of hearing it started in 2022 and I haven’t had time to dig into it.

          Then I withdraw my statement until I have time to determine the truth of what you say

        What do you mean? This has been in process for over a year now. Unless you think Biden is a chess grandmaster of timing things out.

        I think he’s just panicking about Trump actually standing a chance and actually doing something to claw back votes.

          That’s definitely part of it, but I think this is also about locking in marijuana illegality as long as they possibly can. Schedule I was never going to last, but they’re hoping this will kill the political momentum for just descheduling it altogether so cops can keep using it as an excuse to harass people they don’t like.

            I’m reminded of how Democrats said they would keep fighting for the public option and then didn’t.
