They think everyone imprisoned for weed is now free lol
They've been saying that since he did federal pardons :/
DIdn't he only pardon like 12 people?
Turns out not many people had federal charges
Never thought I'd love to see the day where our elected officials decided that weed was as harmless as meth.
Schedule 3, so same as ketamine, tylenol-codeine, or anabolic steroids.
The most Reddit comment of all time, from the thread about this:
Biden made cannabis slightly less illegal which is doing literally less than the bare minimum in fact. Yes progress begins somewhere or whatever, but every liberal DNC MSNBC dork-ass is gonna scream at voters over this.
"He can't personally come over and do your dishes mister! Don't let perfect be the enemy of good buster! "
"I have given these hippies, queers, and coloreds their wacky tobacky surely they will give me a their vote! I'm so good at politics "
"it's the most important election of your worthless meaningless lives. haha! I'm the vice-president, accept your fate, there is no alternative. If there was it would have occurred by now. This all is predetermined long before any us were here hehe "
I don't believe for a second Biden had anything to do with this, but moving weed to schedule 3 is a huge step. and it's one step under Meth btw.
Roman numerals claim another soul now it's only as bad as ketamine.
Drug scheduling makes no fucking sense. It doesn't rank how dangerous a drug is at all. I mean, ketamine is pretty safe, but it is addictive and you can have similar withdrawals as you can to opiates, albeit easier to deal with. You can buy as much booze as you want any time despite it being arguable the most dangerous drug there is, it's partially cause everyone can get as much as they want any time that this is the case, but not entirely. If you're getting drunk daily, you're not treating your body any better than a heroin addict except it's your liver taking the brunt instead of your kidneys and the withdrawal can kill you where with heroin you'll just feel like dying. If H was at a comparable price point per daily fix as booze is, any societal issues with the drug would dissappear cause addicts could more easily get the money to stay well, drunk people can be dangerous as hell just cause they're drunk. It's all vibes based.
is the key aspect here
That's not a distinguishing factor from Canada tho
they couldnt do it by danger when they started the war on drugs because they wanted a way to target black populations so their criteria was "potential for addiction and medical benefit" because at the time nobody had any real studies on the medical benefits and they could lie all they wanted about addiction
its also the reason crack is so maligned while cocaine is not because cocaine used to be used in medicine so it had a historical veneer of science and legitimacy and crack was the bad drugs for the ghettos.... even though its the same fucking drug
I agree with scheduling and all that. Ceacknand cocaine should count as just cocaine. They do be hittin different tho. But under thst logic shooting coke should also get it's own schedule cause that's also very different. Snorting is what we all have seen or done, crack imo does kinda kick a bit of ass, for the first hit and then you gradually start to feel like trash, the other hits don't do like the first and you fiend for a few hours til it wears off or make the mistake of getting more. Shooting it feels like being hit by a train made of tinfoil and I hate it.
They don't consider it different for any other drug. If you smoke meth or snort meth or shoot up meth its all the same under the law. Same with heroin, which you can snort.
I'm all too aware you can snort heroin. I knew a dude who ate it. Which is max danger with minimal effect. Ranking systems really should have a basis and mixing something with.wster and baking soda shouldn't make it considered a different thing under the law unless water and baking soda become illegal.
Was it actually moved to schedule 2? I thought it was only something like "recommended to review the scheduling to move to schedule 2" so it was even less than that
He started the process™️
Schedule 3
The proposed rule, submitted to the Federal Register, is subject to a 60-day comment period, kicking off a lengthy approval process before it takes effect.
doing anything = doing the thing if actually doing the thing does not affect your life at all. it's about aesthetics and feels, not policy and material conditions
He doesn't even have to succeed at doing the thing, they still give him credit.
It's the thought that counts, sweatie!
Meth is less dangerous than marihuana sweetie
How do you do, fellow kids?
Okay but these libs don't realize you're still getting drug screened for the stuff if you apply for things like DOT/DHS/DOE clearance even if all you're going to do is work in an office or a national lab to install printers all day.
So. Biden fuck off?
yes, but they're probably going to stick around even if they have to read their ballots because ing is an adrenergic activity for them
Did it even change from schedule 1? Looks like it's just now up to DEA then judges
It's Schedule 3, lol u must be allergic too
Technically it's still schedule 1 for the next few months because hasn't done anything. Also II and III look a bit alike.
Liberals and reading don't really mix.
They need to legaloze meth. Meth is more useful and a more fun drug than weed.
Yes, but I need weed to tske the edge off when doing uppers
So being Canadian, weed is legal. But also before that even, fucking EVERYONE smoked/smokes weed where I am. According to wastewater studies we are the most stoned province (it ain't BC, surprisingly) and like, growing up it wasn't weird to find that other kid's parents smoked weed, my ex's grandma was an absolute stoney baloney. It's almost weirder if you don't, and that applied to before legalization. It seems like it's still generally more taboo there culturally. I grew up in the neighborhoods they filmed early Trailer Park Boys in and it's not an unrealistic reflection of the place, fucking EVERYONE smokes weed.
yea, even before legalization you could be a teenager with baggy clothes and a skateboard smoking a joint in front of cops and they wouldn't care at all
Like, at best they'd run your pockets and tske away what you had on you. One time when I was 18 or 19 walking to my parents place after a party, and it had been a really far walk, like a good 20 km, so although I was drunk at the start I wasn't by this point when a cop pulled up on me like 5 blocks from home, I guess I had stumbled a bit but once I was talking to her and explained I was on my way home and very close and how far I'd already come from quite safely she was about to leave until another fucking cop was coming by and decided to also pull over. She said 'fuck, it's my supervisor, sorry' searched me, found like 5 grams asked if it was for personal use, I said yup and then supervisor cop wanted to take me to the drunk tank and we both pointed out I'm wayyyy closer to my house than the drunk tank so I got put under arrest, cuffed and then released to the custody of my parents as an adult. ACAB but some Ca are more Bs than others, the cop that was gonna let me off seemed concerned my parents would come down hard on me, they knew where I was and what I was doing, it was fine. They did come out and chew the supervisor out. Later while being arrested at a protest with a group of people and they were trying to get us to rat they asked us as a group which of us had a criminal record, after a while they finally called my name about it, turns out that 'record' was the 5 grams seized, but that's not a criminal record because I was never charged, they just ran names and found a seizure, but there was never any charged and I was placed under arrest to my parents custody (illegally cause adult) for drunk in public charges and possession never came up.
Colorado is exactly the same. Everyone smoked when it was illegal, everyone still smokes now that's it's legal
They really dropped the ball in our province and had the government handle the whole retail part, like they do liquor. They failed to consider how absurdly cheap weed had always been here and that everyone already had at least one dealer. They did the American 8th/quarter kinda thing and with essentially a $10/g cost until you hit an Oz with is still $120 at the lowest, double street price. Canada weed prices go $10 per g, 3 for $25, 5 for $40, if you're buying small quantities, but if you're not a sucker it's easy as hell to find a solid quality ounce for $60. I pay $40 per oz
So Brandon isn't going to deschedule weed after all? Bait, switch?
they're too high to read come on
