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 and a review by an administrative judge, the agency would eventually publish the final rule.

A very good development for reducing mass incarceration, but:

  1. Listen Fat, this is too little too late to save the 2024 election, if it'll have even gone into effect by then.
  2. How fucking incompetent are Democrats that they're taking the clock down to zero on this obvious win that should have been a "first 100 days" item.

Marijuana is illegal for a reason. My cousin smoked ONE jazz cigarette and he DIED within moments of the "toke". Biden better rethink this or he'll have blood on his hands.

I did a key bump of weed in college once and now whenever I crack my back, I get the munchies.

My cousin, had gone through a bad breakup, and I mean he hardly seemed like himself. One night he was hanging out with us and I thought he was going hard. He wouldn't listen to reason. He ended up injecting 7 marijuanas. His blood went septic before it crystalized in his veins. He turned into a translucent statue by the morning. I still miss him. I really just cannot believe people think this drug is okay. It's not.

My friends and I made this same joke FOR YEARS

The weed is too strong, though.

Continually breeding strains to get the most THC, and thus most profit, at expense of the other cannabinoids present in the plant is bourgeois decadence and counter-revolutionary.

Your cousin was a SINNER and a SATANIST, and he deserved it.
