26. I think it's coming

They're going to have to delist it from the schedules, period. As research goes on and more substances made by that clever little plant are isolated and tested, it might provide some actual drugs. Or it might turn out cannabis is effective only when all the components work together.

Eradication of the plant hasn't worked, there are too many farmers. Grass needs to join the GRAS list.

Whenever I worked on an oncology floor here in NM or back in Boston, the policy was turning a blind eye to any patient who headed for the stairwell with a joint and a lighter. Those were the patients who could continue to eat and had more energy to fight the cancer and the horrible treatments.
