It should not be scheduled as a drug or regulated by the Federal Government.

Legalization is sane, WOD has ruined too many lives. Keeping fingers crossed

The only reason it has been on the books for so long as a class 1, or ever, is the lucrative cash flow in fines and repossessions against the "perps", and the manufactured need to build more prisons and hire more cops. That's the bigger problem to solve.

Big Pharma doesn't want it legal either. The number one reason medical cannabis patients give for using cannabis is because they're trying to avoid side effects or opiate addiction.

It was just ludicrous to put in in there with heroin and cocaine.

Legal only as a local anesthetic IIRC.

treated as criminals when the real problem is medical. And after the admission that the War on Drugs was started for the specific purpose of destroying hippies and minorities this is got to end.

Obama has been pardoning a few people who are in jail. Sir, you could pardon a lot more people just by ending this farce all together.

as a result of hemp being grown and harvested during WW2.
So at one time it was legal, AFTER pot was outlawed.

Remember cocaine is schedule II. Didn't change anything but the ability to research. Has to be schedule IV or none.

I haven't seen anything in the news about it

About That Bud Summit at the White House

cannabis Washington, D.C. -- It took a pot-smoking protest outside the White House, but on Monday, advocates for marijuana legalization were set for a historic face-to-face meeting with the Obama administration about easing laws governing the drug. Except, it wasn’t. Leaders of the successful ballot measure fight that legalized marijuana in the nation’s capital said they were granted a White House meeting, but it was with two junior-level staffers in Obama’s Office of National Drug Control Policy.

There was no presidential entourage, no promises of more meetings to come. In fact, there was no visit to the White House proper, but a mostly empty conference room in an adjacent building.

“They didn’t say a lot, they took notes, maybe four pages worth,” said Adam Eidinger, the face of the D.C. marijuana movement, who dressed up for the visit in a black suit with a black-and-green marijuana leaf tie. “We asked questions, but they didn’t answer. . . . They nodded a lot. I think they understood us.”

President Obama said in January that reforming marijuana laws is not on his agenda in his final year in office.

Thanks, Obama! And those thousands of people in jail on weed charges can just suck it.
