DOJ plans to reschedule marijuana as a lower-risk drug

- The Biden administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a lower-risk substance, a person familiar with the plans told CNN, a historic move that acknowledges the medical benefits of the long-criminalized drug and carries broad implications for cannabis-related research and the industry at large. #CNN #News
Honestly, alcohol is, and always will be more destructive than weed ever will be.
Even cigarettes!!!
you got that right
Alcohol ruins lives.
Thank you
Nondrinking alcoholic, quite while in jail for yet another drunk and disorderly that cost me yet another job. Chronic insomniac, a good buzz means a good nights sleep and be ready to work the next day.
Now let's let the non-violent cannabis offenders out of jail
No more pathetic potheads
No pardon for drug criminals
Is that what they said? That's too bad
@@bryandale7125this fuckin' guy. So we should lock people up for weed while violent offenders and drunk drivers go free? Wtf kind of world are you trying to hallucinte?
They will, eventually. If you know you chill
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Should have never been illegal to begin with. It's far safer than alcohol.
You mean weed ISN'T as bad as crack? What a shocker.
I never sold my tv or sucked 🍆for weed😂😂😂😂

@@AncestralFuel If your smoking weed because you'll die drinking alcohol, you're an alcoholic, and not a pothead. You're right man. You need to cut back on the drinking and smoke weed. Saying alcohol is dangerous because it kills you is the same as saying that weed turns you into a heroin addict.

@@1enhanced1 Not everyone breaks the law like you think to be charged with distribution. I took some weed from someone I thought was my friend and he was involved with the police.

Yea many of us young adults are still kind of frustrated with how slow this process has been. Alcohol is not considered a controlled substance at all, so why is cannabis STILL is.
It's a political tool, a decoy more often than not. The main issue ain't ever discussed because the topics were set long ago by ma$$-media & friends, starting with politi¢ian$ who got a love/hate relation (socio-toxic) with pretty much everything, because they got an "image" to protect... Etc., etc. In short a democratic deficit combined to the lack of any fair sense of proportions, all over EAST MONEY.
Biden's a Catholic. He's also an old dude from the Reefer Madness generation, back when America was great. He's sensible enough to keep his religion where it belongs - in church, not in the Oval Office. He's also sensible enough to finally make this long-overdue change with Marijuana. He's a professional. He's mature. He's objective and fair, even if it goes against some of his personal beliefs or morals. That's what a President does.
Trump has no morals. He'll just ask his staff what "people are saying", and do that. That's the extent of his due diligence process. Whatever's trending on X and Truth Social has every chance to become national policy and law.
After we have seen Canada and Germany legalize for the people...
I have little faith in the American political system overall.
I was a law enforcement officer for 34 years. During that time, I NEVER, not once, went to a domestic where they'd smoked a joint and got into a fight. I also NEVER answered a car accident where the driver had smoked and had an accident. Not once. Alcohol on the other hand,...
This is nothing. I live in a state where cannabis is legal, but you can still lose your job if you test positive. LEGALIZE IT! Anything less is just political game playing.
Tbh folks shouldn't go high to work....
@@JCB576 I agree, but you can test positive a week or more after you partake. My issue is that what I do in a legal state on my own time is my business as long as I show up to work sober.
@@JCB576no one is advocating to be able to go to work high. Just like no logical thinker would argue you should go to work drunk. But a large group of people such as police officers and fire fighter can’t even get a medical card to be able to use on days off.
@@JCB576 Weed stay in your system for 30 days lol you could have quit smoking weeks ago and still lose your job. it's not alcohol. We need a different testing system
It’s always gonna be a reason to lose your job for certain occupations. Pilots , truck drivers, I have a boilers license. When boilers explode , planes and trucks crash , they look for someone to blame. Justifiably so. But they do not separate the blame for a guy that smoked a joint 3 weeks ago vs a guy that smoked 30 minutes ago. Worked construction my whole life. The mist dangerous guys are the drunks and the coke heads , but they pretty much get a pass because those substances metabolize so much quicker than weed
As a medical cannabis patient, I was able to quit smoking tobacco and drinking. It has treated my anxiety and PTSD symptoms.
Legalization is the solution to so many issues in this country.
This will help Vets, police officers, EMTs with PSTD. This will quell the opioid and fentanyl epidemic.
Marijuana tax dollars is in the millions for states that chose to support it. Pardons to non violent offenders for possession will lower prison populations and legalization allows police to focus on more serious issues.

3 drug users arrive at my door looking for shelter from a storm. The first one is drinking a beer. The second one merely admits they use cocaine, but has none on them. The third one is actively smoking pot.
The first two better find a bridge somewhere. The pothead, once finished partaking, has a room for the night.
Pot is only dangerous to young minds yet to complete grade school, and to those who happen to be allergic. Meanwhile, I have watched alcohol cause violence without cause, and have watched cocaine cause a person to try to rent out their own child.
Potheads, at their absolute worst, eat, laugh, and hold down furniture.
Pot had no business as Schedule 1 to begin with.

In 1937 Anslinger testified before Congress that "Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."
After the 1944 New York City La Guardia Marijuana Report refuting marijuana causing violence at all, Anslinger changed his tune before Congress by 1948, when he told Congress that he no longer thought marijuana violence-causing, but "a much more dangerous drug than America than that." He testified that "Marijuana causes its users to become so peaceful and pacifistic that in the future American boys will not want to fight in our wars." Anslinger also warned Congress that "The Communists could use marijuana to sap our will to fight." This represents a reversal of the reasoning which originally produced marijuana's illegalization in this country in 1937. Anslinger retired in 1961. (Omni Magazine, Sept. 1982)

There are several products available that mask it. I passed any number of drug tests when I was a daily smoker.
I wouldn’t want to hire someone who smokes weed all the time to a point where trace never leaves their bodies. That’s disgusting and filthy. If you don’t care about yourself what makes me think you’ll care about my business?
@@Srfs777 With That Attitude Your Business Will Fail, It's Not Like Alcohol Or Hard Drugs So Why Care About Their Personal Life If They Do The Job Correctly?
Times Are Changing And People With Your Attitude Are Starting To Be Shunned
Long over due.
theres been so many people put in prison for years over weed like the damage is already done the fact its not legal yet is a slap in the face
❤i know a lot of veterans with PTSD like me who hope this is true ….can’t even get proper pain management 😢
Unless it's legalized on a Federal level ... it's a waste of time even taking about it.
Biden already pardoned simple posession. So unless you are not a dealer you should be fine (on a federal level)
Nah rescheduling is a huge step forward
This is massive. Watch the market. You'll see. Obviously you don't own stocks yet.... Now's the time! HURRY! tip: MSOS buy and HOLD!
Nope this is a huge step forward, when in effect it automatically opens medicinal use across 50 states along with research allowed to further study medicinal use
It’s about time!
Drugs don’t grow from the Earth. Drugs are man made …
I think marijuana should be legal but a lot of drugs that should remain illegal come from plants. Heroine, fentany, cocaine and so on are from plants. Never heard of an opium poppy plant or Coca?
lsd and shrooms pretty the same...also same with cocaine(chew on the leafs) and Ritalin
This will still send you to jail without a prescription.
Nope.
Smoking daily WITHOUT the government 😂😂😂
It’s not enough. Should be legal across the board
From 1842 to the 1880's marijuana was one of the most used drugs in the United States to treat the illnesses of adults and children.
If you’re going to state such bs facts at least post the vice article link before you do.
It's insane that we classified LSD and marijuana to be worse than meth, and alcohol isn't even a schedule V drug.
it's not going to do shit for truckers I've been waiting for years. DOT wants to control all we do after hours fuck them.
DOT can’t do anything nor your job if it’s reclassified as a III. You would just need a prescription and that’s easy to get
It'll hurt them when nobody wants to drive.
Should be removed from drug testing
Steps like this are important. When you have such an entrenched view which is totally false it takes time and effort to change it. Reclassification is an important step to changing perceptions held by the ignorant.
I've smoked, I've drank, and I've tried weed. Here's the difference and it's a big one when you think about it. Nicotine makes you feel good, alcohol makes you feel good, weed makes you feel better.
You can EASILY overdose on alcohol or nicotine, I've never heard of anyone overdosing on THC.
The Government telling other humans what naturally accruing plants and flowers they can have is never actually about the plant
Fact Check: cocaine is schedule II (it has medical applications)
Right.
I always mix it in myself cause Im always trying to make America Great again type of guy
Where's the apology for the years of persecution and lies?
Biden actualy pardoned everybody for posession.....
Y’all complain about everything!
Alcohol should be reclassified as a schedule 1
Reclassify it all, from alcohol to fentanyl and stop producing Narcan, then simply let the chips fall where they may.
It’s insane that it’s not legal to conduct scientific studies on common substances
Come on america its been legal in Canada for years now its not to scary,you can do it 😆😆😆
have you seen Canada lately?
Canada doesn't count.
@@dirtbeard108I can stand before God and tell you any problems with Canada are not even remotely a result of cannabis being legalized, and that there's a good 20% of issues with the prison system of the US (at least) that are a result of cannabis being pointlessly criminalized by pearl clutching witch hunters.
@@dirtbeard108 Weed isn't it's problem lol.
@@dirtbeard108 Don’t blame Marijuana for Justin Arabian Nights Trudeau 😂
It's about time
Thank you anonymous "source familiar with the matter" for this information
Take it off the list
Congratz for this sensible decision 👍
We don't understand plants and animals how can we think we know what's best for humanity . All about Greed and Grants
You piss on me and call it rain.
Legal because it’s being corporatized. That’s the only reason.
Frankly "marijuana" isn't a drug, it's a plant. It contains several compounds, each of which should be considered on its own merits. Imagine being like "Yeah sorry castor beans are illegal because you might use them to make ricin."
Not mutually exclusive. Plenty of plants are drugs.
There are some states and local jurisdictions that prohibit growing castor bean plants, not just the attempt of ricin distillation. Oklahoma most recently. It was a local law where I grew up in Arkansas in the 80s.
Ok, calm down Walter White
@Omni0404 Lol incidentally I do know how to cook. In that way.
@@adamb89anyone can shake a bottle. That's not real cooking.
Reschedule tobacco as Schedule I
Tobacco, alcohol & automatic firearms
@@missionman1914No, No, and No...I like all 3 thank you
ITS NOT A DRUG !!!!!!
This just in. Old, out of touch politicians proive they are old and out of touch.
We should be able to by it🌴 at a super market 🌬 👍 🇺🇸
👉 Internally, several states have "legalized" MJ - time for the Fed DEA to catch up !!! The rigidity is ridiculous. If alcohol had to live up to the same standards, it would be banned. "The Prohibition" didn't work and this hasn't either !!!
💙💙💙 VOTE BLUE !!!!!!! 💙💙💙
crazy thing these days is that seniors are starting to use weed more than youth
And what about all the people that are in jail now for petty weed crimes? I bet they’re all seething.
too stupid to follow a simple law. they are in jail where they belong.
Federal folks have been pardoned for simple possession/use or attempted. Some states are working on state-level stuff, but Congress has to act to fully remove the controlled substance status.
Well they're going to pass laws to throw you in prison for using the wrong pronouns, so there's that..
