Hands it over to big pharma monopoly, no?
Not necessarily, schedule III is what testosterone is and it has plenty of sketchy producers and prescribers
Oh. Well, keep an eye out still.
They may try a similar trick as the UK did…
… where they moved cannabis to a different classification, then changed what the classification meant.
“I Raped Kids And My Ratings Are Cratering Look Over Here Instead”
Anyways, as a Californian I’ll just keep buying weed legally like I have been for years.
You might not be able to after this all fucks it up. Idk, its just the pessimist in me but I feel like this isn’t for the greater good
Well, credit where credit is due I guess. It’s not actual legalization, but it’s welcome progress.
This was low-hanging fruit that the Democrats should have done under Biden but failed to for reasons I will never, ever understand. Anyone with eyes can see that this was eventually where things were headed.
Unfortunately for Trump, I still hate his guts. My opinion on him has been solidified after a decade of dealing with his bullshit, attacks on my community, and attacks on our democracy. He could send me a jar of premo buds but I wouldn’t be able to get over the fact that he’s a child raping shithead moron scumbag who is selling our country out and ruining people’s lives. On the bright side, at least I can give an honest answer when people dare me to say one positive thing that Trump has done.
Credit is not due. He didn’t do anything yet.
for reasons I will never, ever understand.
Democrats’ job is to be only marginally better than their opponents.
If Trump was better, then maybe democrats would’ve felt the need to pull that lever.
There is room to both criticize Democrats and Hate Trumps guts. -It’s hard to ignore the fact that this is something Biden said he was going to do and then never actually got around to it… even though all it apparently took was an executive order.
Low info voters are gonna eat this up though. The Democrats and Biden made a massive mistake letting Trump be the one to push this to the finish line. It’s like they want to lose.

I mean, they probably figured that he also wanted racist law enforcement to continue selective enforcement against minorities.
Schedule III is still not legal. Testosterone is Schedule III and you can be arrested for possession. It would just mean state-level laws will actually be legal in the way they say they are; and possession should be punished less than, say, possession of fentanyl or heroin.
If Democrats take power, they could pass full legalization of Marijuana or other drugs. Alternatively Democrats currently in Congress could introduce a bill now to decriminalize/legalize Marijuana at the federal level. Sure, Republicans would have controlled the House and Senate, but the incumbent could report to their own district that they got a win.

They could have done it the last two times they had power. They chose not to. And there is absolutely nothing that indicates that there is any circumstance under which they would.
siiiigh I mean you’re right. I’m just hard-on that copium because I’d really benefit from such a policy shift…
So would I.
After they demonstrated that they could get out of their own way when it was something they wanted to do, I’m bitter about the whole thing.
Genocide is the only thing I’ve seen them fight for. And until I see actions that indicate that they’re willing to fight harder for anything than they fought to murder Palestinian children, It’s the only thing they want.
Schedule 3 opens up legal financing options so dispensaries can start actually using banks and payment processors. It also gives the SC room to rule that Marijuana shouldn’t disqualify gun purchases, which in turn means being a gun owner caught with weed won’t be an instant felony. It’s a massive change to the whole industry in legal states.
Those are some really good points. I didn’t think about the gun purchase aspect.
Still, should there be a future Democrat administration; there is room to make positive change that the general population would feel.

If you phrase it like that, they’ll never do it and they’ll fight anyone who wants to.
This was low-hanging fruit that the Democrats should have done under Biden but failed to for reasons I will never, ever understand.
The reason is simple: at the end of the day, he’s crime bill biden. He didn’t want to, so he pretended that he couldn’t and ran out the clock. Democrats call this “incrementalism.” Only reason trump’s doing it is because he’s trying to distract from how he’s a pedo.
Biden made a pretty big show of ordering the FDA to perform its own bureaucratic machinations to determine an appropriate schedule for marijuana. They did it. It took them the better part of two years. Then he ordered the DOJ to evaluate how reclassifying would affect their department. That also took over a year.
He did it the slow and methodical way that makes shit work properly in the government. But he didn’t strike the moment it was hot and it sat languishing for Trump to handle. So he did bungle it in standard capital D-Democrat fashion even though he deserves the credit for doing it the right way.

He dragged his feet in the slow and methodical way that makes sure nothing happens.
Sure is neat how it didn’t take years of begging every federal employee for a no when it was something he wanted to do. He could ignore actual law to get weapons to netanyahu. Funny how all the excuses evaporate into nothingness for bibi.
Waa he didnt break the law when I wanted him too
He got a lot of shit done. He did it by knowing how the system works and pulling the appropriate levers in the correct order at the right times. Unfortunately congress made “Give Israel weapons to commit atrocities” a lever and he pulled that too.
he got shit done
One of the funniest things I’ve read on lemmy in a bit, thanks for the giggle!
He got a lot of shit done
Apparently not enough to secure the Democrats another presidential term.

Not one to get people to stop using slurs either, unfortunately.
Slurs are welcome on lemmy as long as they’re used against people who don’t like genocide.
there is, but soulless nepo-babies from the coasts don’t know the magic words
Waa he didnt break the law when I wanted him too
He broke the Leahy law and you’re defending him because it’s the only thing you wanted him to do.
its also the same tactic nixon used to distract from the wars overseas. r
Is this so we are too stoned to pay attention to him having raped a bunch of kids?
I’m pretty stoned and I haven’t forgotten that he raped children.
No, it’s because he got paid off by weed business interests.
you mean signing an order at “distracting from epstein files that are soon to be released” drug order.
Great now he can tax my weed!
What does this actually change? Also, why not just legalize it?
This was my biggest issue when Biden proposed it. It fundamentally changes nothing for most people. The states that outlaw weed will continue to do so claiming it’s still a “federally controlled substance” and the states that already legalized it will continue to keep doing their thing. I guess you might be able to pay with a card instead of cash, though.
Banking access probably, since that’s federally controlled. Currently dispensaries have to pay armored cars to transport their cash.
Avoid big canna. Buy from hemp farms and vendors. Wildwood, hoku seed co, secret nature, flow gardens, and dozens more.
Buy online, avoid big canna.
Legal weed is a scam and I laugh whenever I see someone in a dispensary. They’ll all getting fleeced.
