Yea, they take up too much funding that could be used for other orgs!

I give to you the ATF Convenience Store in Kingman, AZ

Waaait if I am a US resident and go accross a state line im not allowed to buy a 30 pack of beer? Crossing a country border doesn't even prevent that.

You can't do that with tobacco, why allow it with cannabis?

C'mon Europe you're supposed to be cool

They mentioned the ATF. It was explicitly US centric and while a bit hyperbolic it is becoming more common there.

Map no longer accurate, Minnesota legalized recreational this part year 😁

Also here in belgium, it is only decriminalized up to 3g.

Combine Weed and Tobacco into "Smoking" and make it SAFE

Where is the C coming from? Firearms, Alcohol, C, Explosives, Tobacco?

They make a North American event and call it the World Series. Hence North America is the whole world. QED.

And unfortunately, the scheduling is determined by none other than the DEA itself. So I wouldn't hold my breath on them forfeiting funding and purview over of anything as trivial as medical research or the will of the people. At least not easily or without some other political quid pro quo.

Mainly because of the lack of ATF oversight and their FUCKING MASSIVE operations budget.

If people really understood what they have done in the past, that agency would be dissolved overnight.

Speaking of HHS (from NYT):

Marijuana is neither as risky nor as prone to abuse as other tightly controlled substances and has potential medical benefits, and therefore should be removed from the nation’s most restrictive category of drugs, federal scientists have concluded.

The recommendations are contained in a 250-page scientific review provided to Matthew Zorn, a Texas lawyer who sued Health and Human Services officials for its release and published it online on Friday night. An H.H.S. official confirmed the authenticity of the document.

But sadly

Last month, Michael D. Miller, a Justice Department official, defended the D.E.A.’s prerogative in making the final decision on the administration’s position.

“D.E.A. has the final authority to schedule, reschedule, or deschedule a drug under the Controlled Substances Act, after considering the relevant statutory and regulatory criteria and H.H.S.’s scientific and medical evaluation,” he wrote in a letter to Representative Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat who has pushed the D.E.A. to reconsider marijuana.

I see no motivation for the DEA to voluntarily forfeit power and money just because it's the right thing to do. Also think of career DEA guys' pride and ego. They are not going to easily admit they've been wrong and that their rhetoric has been overheated for the past 50 years.

Dip, beer and guns go together like "peas and carrots"
