US DEA will reclassify marijuana, ease restrictions, AP sources say

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple effects across the country. The Justice Department proposal still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget. It would recognize the medical use cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some other drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana. The agency’s move was confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review.

About time! Now fix the banking laws!!! Taxes > illegal sales

@GottaLaff It's the right direction but damn if it's not ridiculously small and slow.

We can make it super illegal and schedule it "no possible redeeming uses" basically on Hearst's say-so but it's the work of thousands of people over decades to back it off even a little.

@GottaLaff
And under whose administration did this happen? JFC if I hear one more democrat or independent bitch about Biden I'm going to scream.
People on the left are getting a wish list of all the s*** that they want - student loan relief, climate change action, drug reform, etc. - and and they don't seem appreciate any of it.
@Ehay2k I'm on the left and I appreciate all of it.
@GottaLaff
