Our drug scheduling is a joke.

Seeing Xanax as a schedule IV drug with "Low potential for dependence" is just funny to read.
Marijuana being in a worse schedule tier as Meth and Cocaine all while you can easily get a prescription for it nowadays. None of it makes sense.

Oh, no!

DEMs are upset about this!

Not a smoker and not in that world. Does this actually mean anything to users other than less criminal penalties if arrested?

And just like alcohol there should be ‘breathalyzer tests’ in the case of vehicular collisions liability.


Well, there already is a test for that. Blood test. And it already is employed if officers suspect impairment from something other than alcohol.

IMO what's important is it's still federally illegal so the VA stance is if you test positive for marijuana there are some medications you can't get. If they become a Schedule III they can get a prescription

It should be unscheduled, alcohol is 100x more dangerous

Since we passed "medical" MJ, any time you have to go into public here you'd think you were at a hippie commune.

I don't personally have a problem with weed and I don't care if someone chooses to do it. But FFS, people need to realize they don't need to go through life in public reeking of an unholy union of skunk spray and patchouli oil.

Notice that those two statements—in addition to the fact that the second one is a gross hyperbole—do not follow logically.

Even if we grant the hyperbole as fact, so what if alcohol is more dangerous? That's an argument for criminalizing alcohol, not de-scheduling weed. Especially if it really is that much more dangerous.

What’s a bigger fricked up government lie foisted on the masses?

The food pyramid or the drug pyramid?

Those two things exist in perfect symbiosis with the pharmaceutical, medical and healthcare industrial complexes. And all are controlled and regulated by what? The FDA.

Once you see it, you can't go back. And when you turn on network and cable television, they're on the air because 60-65% of their funding comes from the pharmaceutical advertising machine. No agenda to carefully craft a narrative at all, right?

It will make depositing cash money into the banks legal. It will allow growers to transact interstate commerce and obtain federal tax breaks like any normal business.

Completely agree. Don't get behind the wheel of a vehicle after smoking or start shooting your guns, just like one shouldn't do after pounding a 12 pack, and I'm good.

Carry on and be happy.

I mean this is cool and all, but I don't see how this gets Trump any political points. In over half the country weed is either legal or has a medical program where basically anyone can get it. Why would anyone in a blue state care if it gets rescheduled when it's already legal? Red states are already voting for Trump so realistically, this may help in the swing states, but that's only if they put decriminalized marijuana high on their priority list.

I can't believe they have the drugs in Schedule IV that they have there. Low risk of dependence? Who made this list?
