True, but any scheme where the nontoxic (i.e., death-free) plant is "on the schedule" of controlled substances but lethal crap like alcohol and cigarettes are not, is not any sort of justice.
There is no legit function of govt, no legit use of taxpayer funding, to coerce free adults into using addictive and lethal substances instead of cannabis by making the latter "illegal"; or to deny free adults access to a plant with both proven medicinal benefits and mood elevation / social relaxation benefits, in one.
ALL of these hardcore sedative drugs are in Schedule IV, BELOW (i.e., less "dangerous" than) where they want cannabis to be: alprazolam, carisoprodol, clonazepam, clorazepate, diazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, temazepam, tramadol, and triazolam.
Not making this up. Yeah, the guy on fucking XANAX and KLONOPIN is WAYYY more in control of himself than after a doobie. Right. Sure, he's liable to fall through a glass table and slice off his face without noticing it, but hey—Schedule IV! Not as scaaaaary as that wacky tabacky!
Perfectly fine to hit up your prescribed amount of pharma pills and drive a car, own a gun, etc. What a joke. The people see through it. Every time the survey goes out, it comes back 70% want it legal for adults, treated the same as wine, and be done with it.
Anything used in excess is dangerous. In moderation all can have proven benefits from alcohol to marijuana to cigarettes. Previous articles have indicated nicotene is 1) not addictive, 2) has health benefits and 3) prevents and eliminates COVID and the Spike Proteins in the vax.
Very true but bad optics for us because the RINO/Ben Shapiro types will be screaming about how horrible it is, trying to make the rest of us look foolish by association.
I'm with you, I don't think it will be a big setback but I can't see how most Republicans will do anything but embarrass their voters when it comes to legalization.
The greens tried it in Oz..... Meanwhile the capital Canberra is allowed it 🤨🤦🤡🌎
Can't have those politicians kids caught out.....fark cancer, Parkinson, epilepsy etc patients...that don't matter
Pot smoker here for a long long time. I have a family, hold a full time job for 20+ years, am I conservative, love my country, hate the people trying to destroy it. No way this should ever be a class 1. Like anything else too much of it is bad for you.
Agreed fren... Been smoking 54 years and have always worked my butt off... Journeyman painter and apprentice electrician... Raising my 16 year old daughter by myself for over 11 years... Can't work any longer due to bad health... Cheers... ☕☕☕
Correct. Treat it like beer and wine. It's for adults to choose something less harmful than those if they wish. It's just a different alcohol molecule with far less toxicity and less severe effects than ethanol.
You may or may not remember the presidential debates of 2012 when the only time they would ask Ron Paul, a question would be to corner him on his libertarian views. They would always say to him so you think all drugs should be legal? And true to his libertarian roots he’d say yes. Take the money out of prosecuting drug use as a crime and put it into education and rehab.
Fun fact Coca-Cola is the only company in America legally allowed to import coca.
If you want to put something on Schedule 1, start with cigarettes and alcohol. Both are addictive, and have no medicinal value, which is the standard for Schedule 1. Funny how a plant with an ancient history of safe use is criminalized, while two others that have a deadly history, are just fine. Wonder who owns those tobacco companies, and distilleries?
Alcohol is used in a ton of remedies, but great point nonetheless esp. about cigarettes.

Well stated!
How about this radical concept : free adults in a free society control what goes in their bodies and what doesn't
Get off me about which specific type of ALCOHOL molecule I'm allowed to have, I'm a freaking grownup. Enough of the tedious fight with adults over which alcohol they like better, ethanol or tetrahydrocannabinol
Techno music is pretty cool... I used to listen to a lot of Dark Synth while driving because the upbeat music and tempo helped keep me awake and aware... Cheers fren... ☕️☕️☕️
Cannabis and the culture around "consciousness" stuff actually is a counter-culture to the mainstream. It opens more minds than closes it. The issue is that people take something that can be good, even medicinal and abuse it.
I agree with this one actually.
There is way more important things to fight vs people who smoke marijuana.
I completely agree with you... Cheers fren.. ☕☕☕
Cheers!

I am just hoping more people see through Ben's BS!

The change is just another plea for Votes!
You're probably right but it should never have been classified as a schedule 1 drug in the first place... Cheers fren and... ☕☕☕
Right on both counts. Yeah, it's a cheap ploy for the stoner vote. But weed should never have been associated with "Reefer Madness" to begin with
Agreed... Cheers fren... ☕☕☕

It's the new 'Joints for Votes', what if you get busted on the way to the polls. e.i. DUI

Listed along side ketamin which can kill you.....should be listed along side beer

Probably need some enforcement mechanisms that arent in place though. The equivalent of a weed breathalizer for traffic enforcement etc
Why? We have field sobriety tests. If you can function, you can function.
Im a lawyer, trust me, field sobriety tests are not all we need
LOL
Sorry but if intended unironically, then it's ten times more hilarious
Dude!
Being serious…field sobriety tests wont be enough for the legal process…to easily challenged in court.
Grow marijuana and coca here in America and the cartels will be reduced to human trafficking and fentanyl.
I agree with marijuana but not so much with coca... Cheers fren... ☕☕☕

I didn't know about Coca-Cola having that privilege, interdasting... Ron Paul imo would have been a fine president... Cheers fren... ☕️☕️☕️

Absolutely correct... Cheers fren... ☕☕☕
10,000%
Also look up the original branding of beers, like Heineken, they feature a certain star on them..
Decrease the regulation and increase the sunshine.
Something like that... Cheers fren... ☕☕☕
Im a lil late to comment, just woke up from a nap
No worries, I take several naps throughout the day kekekek... Cheers fren... ☕️☕️☕️
Techno music is pretty cool... I used to listen to a lot of Dark Synth while driving because the upbeat music and tempo helped keep me awake and aware... Cheers fren... ☕️☕️☕️
The dumbing down of America's population. To control people, keep them high, lazy and uneducated.
To a certain point you're correct... However, marijuana has many beneficial medicinal qualities that other drugs don't... Cheers fren... ☕☕☕
then why am I an independent-minded patriot, energetic, fully employed, hardworking and highly educated, like everyone I party with
lazy stupid people gonna lazy stupid - whatever their personal habits

I think the issue is genetic. Some people can handle it, others go psycho.
It's not legal here in most of Australia...yet when I access it I can smash out plenty of tasks.
Without it I'm physically limited due to the toxic metal in my body / cancer.
Now are you sure your thinking isn't mainstream influenced by movies telling everyone stoners are bums?
I knew they'd try and throw this hail Mary for votes before November.
I thought it was supposed to be legalization....supposedly Schumer's had that on his desk for over a year
This weak sauce still keeps the govt in control of the individual citizen in their home
Before 26 you are wiping out judgement and your conscience. We already have enough sociopaths.
