Current Events > Marijuana has been reclassified in the US as less dangerous drug.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lmao still schedule 3? Fuck off.

Lmao still schedule 3? Fuck off.

according to the article this is just a proposal

Lmao still schedule 3? Fuck off.

It's still a huge step towards rec. At schedule 3 there are far less restrictions on studies and what not.

Smoke weed everyday.

Hail Satan.

Yup, still has to work through all approvals.

Still, good.

Explains why weed stocks are all blazing off right now.

And alcohol isn't classified as a controlled substance at all. It's probably the most dangerous substance you can buy.

Legalization of weed didn't even help with the illegal drug trade because the government regulates and taxes it so much people can't afford to buy or sell legally. Some of the various state laws don't even make sense. The way things are set up when companies like Philip Morris are able to get in the game they'll crush any competition and small timers will be out of a job.

You should take any win that you can get. CIIIs are way less restrictive and indicates a shift. You couldnt even get a prescription for CIs at your local pharmacy. CIIs were extremely restrictive. CIIIs let you get refills and can be transferred once. Also, many doctors require you to have another visit before getting another CII prescription but that doesnt seem to be the case for CIIIs. To top it all off, the drug can keep moving categories in the future.

Dont get angry about not getting exactly what you want.

How would this affect medical marijuana card reciprocity among states? And job protections.

There's no drug testing in New York unless you're a DOT driver or work/contract for the federal government.

The majority of maintenance CII scripts are amphetamines and most doctors nowadays write three one month scripts at a time and add do not fill before dates. CIII's actually seem to be way more strictly handled, ie Suboxone, hormone treatments, etc

Fun fact - most people are aware cocaine is a schedule 2 anesthetic and opium tincture is used to stop diarrhea, but methamphetamine is also schedule 2. I've never seen it prescribed but it does happen.

Lmao still schedule 3? Fuck off.

We have Cocaine at our hospital. Its used in some surgeries if I remember correctly

Somewhat hilariously it's only used in nasal surgery. For some reason they don't use it anywhere else.

"ok time for your colonoscopy

nurse i need 50 cc's of marching powder on this man's butthole stat"

I just hope we get some drug test reform to match this. Weed stays in your system much longer than most drugs, and as it is now, you will likely lose your job if you smoke within a week to a month of a drug test.

President Joe Biden directed the Department of Health and Human Services in October of 2022 to review marijuanas classification. Federal scientists concluded that there is credible evidence that cannabis provides medical benefits and that it poses lower health risks than other controlled substances.
Biden even made history at the State of the Union address this year, for the first time referencing marijuana from the dais in the House chamber and making note of the federal review process. No one should be jailed for using or possessing marijuana, the president said during the speech.
