Bidens Justice department begins to ease weed restrictions BIDEN BONG BABY

[havoc00]

The Biden administration announced Thursday that it has taken the next step to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug under federal law.

Why it matters: Initiating the process to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I to a less dangerous Schedule III drug is the first step to make the major policy change President Biden announced last month a reality.

Zoom in: The Attorney General submitted a proposed rulemaking to the Federal Register that launches the formal process to consider reclassifying marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act, the Justice Department said


Until a final rule is published, marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance, per the DOJ.

The proposal must be formally published in the Federal Register and go through a public comment period before it can take effect, a process that can take a year or more.

What they're saying: "This is monumental," President Biden said in a video posted on social media Thursday


"It's an important move toward reversing longstanding inequities," he continued. "Far too many lives have been upended because of failed approach to marijuana and I'm committed to righting those wrongs."

Legalizing weed also makes all the low life weed dealers bankrupt. You ever think about that?

Schedule III doesn't make it fully legal. The biggest thing is lesser to no penalties for possession and employers not caring about people testing positive in a screening drug test. Probably won't be tested for. It will be in the same category as roids or codeine.

Some weed dealers will go out of business, not all. Even in states with fully legal weed lots of people get it from weed dealers. I'm not even much of a fan. I've smoked maybe once in the last decade, a handful in the last 20 years.

Besides, everyone I ever knew that sold weed was a dude with a low paying job supplementing their income. The dude who just sits around all day waiting for people to come and buy is nearly nonexistent. It's weed, not coke or H.

He is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for last-minute vote-buying stunts

Yup, so important that it took nearly 3 1/2 years to make a move on the topic...
