Why is this not all over lemmy?!

tl;dr: Trump bumped marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. This is a big deal for research and has been holding the US medical community back for decades.

Yes, I'm certain there was a bribe involved. Maybe he got a golden bud. Don't care. This Executive Order blows out a load of red tape. This is a huge move.

Doubt many hate Trump as much as I. 01/06 gave me PTSD light. And I'm not just saying that, still in shock, still can't look at pics and certainly not videos. But FFS, can we not talk about a win when we get one?!

Shit, might be the first thing that orange prick has done, that I agree with... Next step, getting the UK to do the same.

I for one still hold the opinion that the UK remain classified as a schedule 1 drug.

I also agreed with moving tobacco products to 21+, but I think that one is on Melania.
