1pooh4u Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 It’s happening waiting on FDA approval https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/05/16/biden-says-marijuana-being-reclassified-as-schedule-iii-drug/?sh=102fa9984484 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Debater131 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Class III means it will be in the same category as Ketamine and some Benzos. I still find it so damn dumb that it isnt federally legalized, or at a minimum decriminalized. Such a stupid fight to be trying to wage. At least they are finally admitting that Weed isnt worse for you than freaking Meth. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pooh4u Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 I like the reclassification because now we can have proper studies on what cannabis is good for and what it isn’t. It’s near impossible to do studies with its current classification 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s near impossible to do studies with its current classification I think that will be the biggest impact of all of this. Finally allow some research on the subject and see what it shows. Theres a ton of anecdotal stories and evidence out there, now lets bring some science into this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quickly people will probably be angry with the results or outright not believe them especially if it’s not what they want to hear. With that said I have concerns that special interests could squash kill or otherwise skew studies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this might be exactly what needs to happen for the DEA and CBP to start cracking down on cartels that run illegal farms. Up to this point, it wasn't quite as easy to do drug raids on these farms unless they were clearly illegal (as in smack dab in the middle of a National Forest). Now, there will be a framework for collaboration between LEOs and the Feds to better target cartel activity and help legal growers and dispensaries while taking the individual who grows for his or her own use out of the crossfire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But cartels also do a lot of major indoor grows in the suburbs and industrial parks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 This is ironically timed for me personally because I’ve been sober for a month. I enjoy it but the emotional dependency got too much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you stopping forever or just taking a break? I do those sometimes. Been a while though. I’m honestly not sure. It’s at least going to be a several months break. The second week I was having pretty wild mood swings. I never felt a physical dependency or anything like that, but I could feel my emotions being out of wack and it gave me pause. I have no moral problem with pot at all, but it was not doing great things for me as far as motivation and mental health. I do love getting high, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory is definitely negatively impacted by my cannabis use but in the past it always returned to normal after a brief break. Idk about now though cuz I’m old 😬😆🫠 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimOdin Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Sorry for continually hikacking this thread for personal anecdotes, but… I’ve lost almost ten pounds since quitting and my abdomen looks better than it has since my early 30s. Now. I will also point out I’ve stopped eating fast food (because holy fuck it’s so expensive). So, it might just be that. But I’m feeling really good and I hope I never relapse. Again. I have no problem with marijuana, clearly I loved it! But it might not be for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
