I agree it should be rescheduled and Biden is wrong to have not done it faster.

You do know that most people you support are strongly opposed though, right?

When did you suddenly become pro-legalization?
 
LOL @ democrats foot dragging. California, Colorado, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, Arizona, Rhode Island, Maine, Oregon, DC, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Washington, Vermont, Virginia. What do all those have in common besides the fact they all went for Biden in 2020?

I mean, think about it OP.
 
“I believe it is important for the administration to be transparent with Congress regarding where the process of descheduling marijuana stands,” he said, adding that he is asking that Milgram provide responses to the following by September 15:

  1. Provide a copy of the letter you referenced that President Biden sent to the Secretary of HHS and the Attorney General asking that the process of descheduling marijuana begin.
  2. Have you asked HHS for its timeline for getting you its recommendation on the descheduling of marijuana? If so, what was HHS’ response? In the case that you received a timeline, provide that timeline.
Gaetz wrote that DEA’s answers to the questions are needed in order for the House Judiciary Committee “to continue oversight of this matter.”

As far as the alleged letter from Biden is concerned, an attorney filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with HHS for a copy of the letter earlier this month—and the department said it had “no records” of such a document....https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop-congressman-pushes-dea-head-for-update-on-bidens-marijuana-scheduling-review/
 
"As far as the timing of the scheduling review is concerned, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra did tell Marijuana Moment in June that agencies are aiming to complete their work by the end of the year.

The process starts with a scientific review into marijuana by HHS—and specifically the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under HHS. Once that’s complete, the department will forward its findings and scheduling recommendation to DEA, which will then conduct its own eight-step review before making a final decision. The recommendation from HHS is not binding, as DEA has primary jurisdiction over the CSA and could theoretically dismiss the health agency’s position." https://www.marijuanamoment.net/gop...update-on-bidens-marijuana-scheduling-review/

FDA is a joke. They approve any herbal based garbage. Should not be a stretch for that organization to legalize an HERB!
 
It's only a pretense to address this as a medical issue. In reality it is a political and economic one. Millions of dollars flow into fed, state and local coffers every year under the forfeiture laws, which money is used (inter alia) to pay for thousands of police, prosecutors and judges. Legalize pot those areas will face layoffs-and you can bet the police unions and others will be screaming loudly about the politicians doing those layoffs as soft on crime.

The sooner this national stupidity ends, the better.

Should be /thread but of course the OP will never address it.

Foot dragging by democrats, what an absolute joke. It’s weird that I have like 30 weed stores I can walk or drive to within 20 minutes here in one of the most liberal / democratic voting states in the country.
 
Well, a lot of republicans don't want pot legalized because it competes and interferes with their drug of choice.... booze. And I'm sure lobbyist from the booze industry are paying a lot of money to make sure pot remains unlegalized. Pot needs to be legal if for no other reason for the medical benefits. Medical cannabis should be legalized but then again the booze industry doesn't want even THAT. And if Trump is going to be the next president we all will need to be stoned. Drunk doesn't do it, we must be stoned out of our minds.

The OP has a long history of opposing legalization here and so is just concern trolling.

My primary interest is kicking the doors open to research. NORML and other advocates make the strong argument that as long as THC is in the control of the DEA or similar researchers will be stigmatized because of the existing DEA scheduling. THC / CBN / CBD and similar cannabinoids / cannabidiol oil and similar based on some of the NIH articles I've read have therapeutic value and effect...this in it self warrants more study: " Salk researchers find cannabinol preserves mitochondrial function and prevents oxidative damage to cells"..."They further found that the CBN worked by protecting mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, within the neurons. In damaged cells, oxidation caused the mitochondria to curl up like donuts—a change that’s also been seen in aging cells taken from the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. Treating cells with CBN prevented the mitochondria from curling up and kept them functioning well." Rheumatoid Arthritis is another area where existing medications and therapies damage the immune system...there is some early on indication diabetes outcomes can be improved with full spectrum cannabinoids and similar...so there is some research going on and it looks promising so based on that success the DEA needs to be moved out of the way so full on research can carry on.. https://www.salk.edu/news-release/active-ingredient-in-cannabis-protects-aging-brain-cells/

Have you contacted your representatives to express your interest in this, to inquire what they're doing in regards to it?

Nevada democrats and republicans along with independents all are in support of Rep. Matt Gaetz position and desire to get going on the necessary process and procedure to perhaps de-list THC so full fledged research can get going...

So to be clear you’re admitting the liberals were right about marijuana all along? Do you regret your past positions?

This. You'll have to excuse I've Got Brain Trauma for his entirely predictable 180 on this issue. Only 5 years ago, he was all over this place railing against dirty hippy liberals and all their evil drugs, but of course, just like any cvnty conservative fundy asshole, he suddenly aged or injured himself into an issue that ONLY NOW effects him. So, of course, he was for it all along, because NOW it is the most important thing ever and of course he didn't spend 90% oif his waking life judging others and violently fighting against their rights out of pure, uninformed biblical spite.

Just don't forget that these people never fucking do anything for anyone else's good: it's just pure spiteful selfishness. Because they are bastards and will never change.
