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.

I think I might be too because ive been in the woods a lot and have never gotten it. Though I have also never tested that by purposely touching any.

Not sure if it's the same with poison ivy, but with Poison oak true immunity is rare/difficult to achieve. I had one co worker who believed he was immune to po for years until he got the oil in an open gash and the infection went systemic. After that, he got po rashes like the rest of us. True immunity does seem to be possible though, I know a few people who have completely immunized themselves with an extremely careful and specific tea regimen
