    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.

      ~~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

          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.

        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 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.
