The Drug Enforcement Administration submitted a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register on Thursday afternoon, triggering a 60-day comment period that will allow members of the public to submit remarks regarding the rescheduling proposal before it is finalized. Biden first directed federal agencies to review how marijuana is scheduled in October 2022, weeks before that years midterm elections. The process was led by the DOJ and the Department of Health and Human Services. During the first 30 days of the comment period, interested parties could request a hearing regarding the rescheduling proposal. Under the statute, the DEA would be required to hold a hearing before an administrative law judge. The entire process can take anywhere from a few months to up to a year. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ... Copied to Clipboard!

Good. I'm glad they knocked it down but schedule 3 for weed is still a little goofy.

It's the same schedule as barbiturates which kind of makes sense relative to the rest of the schedule. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

This is only good if full legalization and extensive expunging of criminal records not only continues, but gains momentum. Any person that suggests this is sufficient measures should be harshly ridiculed, and any politician that does so should lose all support in the primaries.

Its not perfect but to take this move as anything but a win is the wrong way to go about this.This will make it more difficult for decriminalization legislature introduced on state level to gain support. Such legislature protects the rights of Americans a lot more than rescheduling does. As long as states continue to push, the rescheduling will be a small step in the right direction. If state legislature fails to pass because of this, if rescheduling successfully becomes a faux finish line as Biden and Harris intend, then they need to be punished. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

Such legislature protects the rights of Americans a lot more than rescheduling does.Literally anything does more than leaving it as at the class its currently scheduled as. Nobody needs to be punished because they did something objectively good for weed acceptance in this country. Youve done this weird thing about being against rescheduling to class 3 before in the past too. Just take the wins as they come and dont expect perfection --- Hee Ho ... Copied to Clipboard!

Imagine a road is full of potholes, that damage vehicles going over. There's been an ongoing effort to fill these potholes, but only a couple a paved at a time. It would take another 5 years to finish filling these potholes. Instead of properly filling a few at a time, they decide to pour some gravel in the remaining ones. It's still rough on the cars, but ever so slightly eased. But now the holes aren't being properly filled anymore. Another 15 years go by, thousands more vehicles are scratched an damaged, and the road isn't fixed yet.

People are literally only benefitting from this schedule change, so that analogy does not work Youre also just basing your entire argument off an assumption that this will stop the process of legalization, which i dont understand --- Hee Ho ...

It makes it seem "less urgent" to fix the problem (even though it's not), so state congresses won't put bills on the floor that they otherwise would have. Biden's intention is to keep marijuana illegal for longer. That's his goal. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

People are literally only benefitting from this schedule change, so that analogy does not work He's probably saying "they'll think it's good enough and just stop there", which is nonsense because every state I know of that eventually got full legalization went from decrim -> medicinal -> recreational. I don't know if any who jumped from 0 to 100, so it demonstrates that states prefer to take this at a slower pace and Biden's pace on this is the only federal pace we've had. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

I get what they're saying tbh. They're worried that some people - in particular those with influence - might decide to just stop there, whereas if the status quo remains for now then the eventual change will be even greater.
I'm not saying I agree with their logic (my earlier post in this topic should make it clear I don't). But I do see where they're coming from. --- I fought the Trumble and the Trumble won. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's schedule 6 in my state. Like I think they literally made up a whole extra schedule just for it. Odd considering they refuse to legalize it here.
Also wild to think it's as low as it can go here but cross the border to the next state and it's schedule 1. Or was --- I put my heart and soul into my work and I fear I have lost my mind in the process ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's fine and all, but whatever laws they make should also make sense.
Like in my state you can grow 2 plants but can't possess over 1.5 ounces. Even one shitty plant will produce more than 1.5 ounces dry unless it's straight up Charlie Brown Christmas tree level. 2 healthy plants should yield at least 6 ounces on the conservative side. --- This is where cool people write stuff. ...

It's not exactly that farfetched to think that government types might see this and say "something's happened, let's focus on other matters instead". More a "let's leave it at this and not bother going any futher" than an actively malicious "let's conspire to keep it illegal". Again, not saying I agree with their logic.

Biden doesn't want it to be completely legal. That's not a secret, that's his open stance on it. He believes that rescheduling and keeping it illegal is the correct, permanent solution. The pardons are good at least, but it's slow and not helping everyone that needs it.
