    I know this is just rescheduling to schedule 3, and that legalization would be preferred. But this is still huge. Millions of people have in their renting lease that they can’t consume schedule 1 drugs inside of their home, and that includes people in legal states. This would allow millions of people to consume weed in their homes without fear of eviction. I was almost evicted once because of my consumption in a medical state, this decision would have saved me so much stress. This is progress, and shows that we can keep pushing towards legalization and that it will impact things even if it takes a little time.

      Agree completely. This will have huge rippling effects throughout a lot of industries. For example, anyone who has used pot in the last year is automatically banned from obtaining a security clearance, even if it was in a legal state or prescription. This change will allow medical pot users to obtain and maintain a clearance.

      What a fucking joke. Way to applaude accomplishing nothing at the expense of trillions od dollars and thousands of lost years to incarcerated potheads. The government rode for 100 years now that pot killed brain cells based off the study that strapped gas masks to monkeys, pumping thc smoke for 3 mins straight with no oxygen. 100 years they’ve had to at the very least have someone say, hey maybe the monkeys turned retarded from asphyxiation. Really trillions of dollars and thousands of years stolen from the people paying their means to protect and serve and this is what we get, a lower classification but still very illegal classification for something that is safer than relying on government backed health care. Because while your applauding the government for keeping stat quo for being retarded, the very same govt is in the midst of stripping Medicaid coverage from over 12 million low in come citizens with ZERO notice, ZERO contingency plan, ZERO aid for 12 million Americans dependent on government assisted health coverage. THANK THE ALMIGHT CUNT IN HEAVAN THE GOVERNMENT ROLLED BACK MARIJUANA FROM CLASS TOO IRRATIONAL TO REGULARLY PROSECYTE CLASS TO THE STILL FUCKING ILLEGAL SO THEY DONT HAVE TO OFFER NORMAL SMALL BUSINESS TAX INCENTIVES TO THE FUCKING BUSINESSES THAT ARE OPERATING ILLEGALLY UNDER THE PROTECTION OF FUCKING STATE RIGHTS CUZ THATS THE TRUMP XARD THAT HISTORICALLY KEEPS BEEING ON THE GOOD SIDE OF HISTORY.
