[Schedule 1] is the same category as LSD, ecstasy and peyote.
That's not only wildly stupid for cannabis, it's very stupid for these three as well.
LSD and MDMA (ecstasy) were both used for therapeutic reasons prior to the hysterical drug warriors and their wild delusions swept in...thus demonstrating the truth behind Leary's quote: "LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it." This applies to other things like peyote and MDMA, too...
Put alcohol in schedule 1. It has literally zero medical uses.
It cures my anxiety pretty good...
What they should really be doing is creating a foundation for modern life that doesn't make people want to escape life.
Far out, man..
Benzos will do the same
Where's the profit incentive? Antisemtite Nazi trash
Alcohol works as a sterilizing agent and an anaesthetic.
Fair
Comes in handy if you've ingested methanol or ethylene glycol.
It also used to be used to prevent premature labor, just hook a pregnant women up to an IV ethanol drip.
Not true, it has 1 medical use. To treat severe alcohol withdrawal, which can be fatal.
Assuming of course you ignore the fact it's also the cause of that issue.
My glass of bourbon every Friday night is a necessity to continue working in the "joys" of the insurance world.
More would be preferable but alcoholism runs deep on both sides of my family.
Schedule 1 obviously should exist but for some reason every time we put something in it we find a reason it shouldn't be there.
Yeah we'll see, I can see them unveiling a license to sell it that requires a $100,000 "fee" pricing all the small players out of the market. Then the taxes... Anyways, I guess it's good news, maybe, possibly.
He federally legalized with the 2018 farm bill. That's why you can buy online from farms and vendors and it legally shows up in your mailbox. There are a handful of states that have outlawed. I'm in Texas and have had many pounds delivered over the last few years.
No it wasn't. The 2018 farm bill removed Hemp from the list and specific it as different from marijuana, and derivatives as long as they have less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. This is also why CBD products are available essentially across the board. CBD is excluded and listed as separate from THC, because it is not psychoactive.
There have been multiple subsequent court rulings that have had differing conclusions regarding various products that came on the market after that. More specifically around arguments about Delta-8 THC derived from <0.3% Delta-9 products and natural vs synthetic derivatives.
Marijuana in general was by no means "legalized" by the 2018 Farm Bill.
There are many many farms and vendors who sell online and legally ship via usps to most states. Hoku, Flow, wildwood, holy city, and dozens more.
So they're not actively enforcing the weird grey area they made by defining only one THC cannabinoid, and allowing derivatives that don't have to conform to the same level.
Is it that surprising that they fucked up trying to define something they don't actually understand? Although it's more likely the loophole was intentionally made by the lobbyists for the various cannabis companies that actually wrote that part of the bill, as is tradition now.
Definitely intentional. DEA tried to argue against thca years ago and courts said to follow as written.
Big canna is fighting it because it shows almost anything to be called hemp and sold without regulation, lot numbers, etc.
