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.

  1. Is anyone saying that this is an election issue?

  2. anecdotal of course but i know more republicans hat toke than democrats. Ive had some firmly blue folks poo poo someone else blazing up. Maybe it has to do with the fact that i live in south texas, ive never professed to be a smart kinda guy.

Nah I don’t know a single person who’s gonna have their vote swayed by this. Maybe I don’t hang out with enough 18 year old smokers anymore, but this is so inconsequential. Doesn’t change the fact that people will still go to prison for marijuana possession.
