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.

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.

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.

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
