I believe the best way forward with cannabis will be to make it so that federally it isn't enforced at all but it is enforced at the state level.
Rescheduling it any other way at the federal level sets a precedent for all states. Kicking it back to the states (like abortion) allows each state to do what they want with it.
Conservative states can keep it illegal and the lefty states can legalize it. Or whatever the individual states decides to do with it
Cannabis in all forms heals... us and the earth.
It never should been outlawed. Period. They literally gave up trying to find a lethal dosage of THC delta 9... water is quite literally more lethal to humans than any compound found in the entire plant. GET a clue... it was made illegal by folks who had interests in the things Cannabis was better at providing.

Took me a few hours to go from happy stoner to angry 6th gen American.
Estimates for a potentially lethal dose in humans vary widely. One source suggests that a lethal dose could range from 4 to 15 grams of THC , while another estimates the LD50 at approximately 30 mg/kg, meaning about 2 grams of pure THC could be lethal for a 150-pound person. However, other analyses suggest that the LD50 ratio in humans may be as high as 1,000 to 1,000, implying that a person would need to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within minutes to reach a lethal dose—physically impossible due to the required volume and rate of consumption. In practical terms, marijuana’s toxicity is so low that it is considered incapable of inducing a lethal response through drug-related toxicity alone.
I remember back in the late 80s/early 90s hearing something about ODing on pot you'd need to smoke 1500 pounds in 15 minutes.
Hadn't thought about that probably since I'd heard, your post brought it to mind.
I do recall it was in a drug class I'd earned attendance to lol
Edit:Upon reading the OP reply below, I recollected what I'd heard was you'd have to ingest 1500 pounds in 15 minutes.
That's just plain old smoke inhalation.
As I read this I recollected it was ingest, not smoke. Although smoking would be ingesting, no way you could smoke or eat that in that time.
I wonder what's the least weight 1500 pounds could be condensed down in to...
You can also be killed by 50 pounds of cannabis... ...dropped upon your head from a great height. :D
