US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana in a historic shift

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, The Associated Press has learned, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple-effects across the country.
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.
The agency’s move, confirmed to the AP on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review, clears the last significant regulatory hurdle before the agency’s biggest policy change in over 50 years can take effect.
Once OMB signs off, the DEA will take public comment on the plan to move marijuana from its current classification as a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin and LSD. It moves pot to Schedule III, alongside ketamine and some anabolic steroids, following a recommendation from the federal Health and Human Services Department. After the public-comment period the agency would publish the final rule.

Just fricking legalize it already. I'd rather my kids smoke that as opposed to Delta 8,9, 10, 100, kratom, kava, CBD and whatever else is currently legal.

Well, they’re only a couple decades late.

They really just can’t accept that the “War on Drugs” has been a massive systemic failure. Give up the ghost, DEA.

For the 2022 election it was student loans. For the 2024 election it’s weed.

It’s about fricking time. Only a matter of time before the dominoes start following, except Louisiana of course.

The only people that really lose by legalizing it is LEO who can't steal property from people who may or may not be guilty on whatever drug racket they make up.

Luckily some Louisiana politicians are thinking of the children and trying to limit THC.
