- Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials have proposed reclassifying marijuana (or cannabis) as a Schedule Three drug. Despite a majority of states having legislation allowing for medicinal and recreational use, marijuana it still classified as a Schedule One narcotic along with heroin.
Curaleaf (CURLF) CEO Matt Darin sits down with Catalysts Hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to talk about how long cannabis businesses has been waiting for a change like this and what it signifies for the future of the industry and the SAFE Banking Act.
"It's a long time coming, but I think the findings are really backed in science and backed under a very detailed review that the government did to evaluate the medicinal benefits of cannabis," Darin says, "and that it truly does belong as a Schedule Three, a substance versus Schedule One on par with things like heroin and fentanyl which all Americans have known for quite some time, just was not right."

Cops are gonna be pissed that the government is actually saying weed is safer than cocaine finally. You have no idea how many cops I've met that have argued weed is worse than cocaine
It is, haven’t you seen reefer madness??
Question is do you have any idea how many?
Also, Stop cappin. No cop would say that 😂
Bringing back 1980's
My mom didn’t want me to play piano because of the piano player in that movie!
well then schedule alcohol as well same with nicotine.
Call it booze for what it is.
Alcohol should be a class 1
Philip Morris and the crooks or owners of these large companies (insert any alcohol/cigarette companies name) will never be touched. That’s why they’re going after anything that gets in their way. Ie: The vaping industry for one. If these morons could work with, instead of against small businesses. Like making weed legal, the taxes alone could help out so many communities. Of course the government and states will have to get their cut. Oh! And Ukraine. 🤬
Xanax still scheduled lower, yikes
Never should have been classified to begin with.
Agreed
In a country where it’s citizens are “free” accept to use and enjoy a GOD-given plant.
Did God put all that THC in it ?

If you believe in God, yes
We're paying for food and water already. End times
Tobacco is a god given plant, as is belladonna. Poison ivy. Your argument is just pothead logic.
The DEA is part of the EXECUTIVE branch, and has no business proposing any change in law, which is the purview of the LEGISLATIVE branch. Also, cannabis is not a narcotic.
Technically yes jt is.
@@occiferfigpucker4840it’s a plant
@@occiferfigpucker4840 You obviously don't understand the separation of powers that is written into the constitution for the united states.
I don’t think the classification is the actual law. Alcohol and tobacco are not “Scheduled” but there are laws that restrict their use. There are laws that govern who can purchase them, and where they can be used, which are administered by various governments. I’m not an attorney nor played one on TV. It’s how it was explained to me.
@@NJSonye Here's an example that might help elucidate my point: police departments would never suggest that any particular traffic offense be reclassified, such as changing the fine for running a stop sign from $180 to $50. That would be something that the legislative body in that particular municipality might put forth at the behest of the residents of the town. The police are part of the executive branch, so they have nothing to do with suggesting changes to the laws. Their job is to ENFORCE the law.
They're proposing to have marijuana, a plant, rescheduled to the same schedule as THC... which is derived from that same plant. They're still nuts.
Just leave it alone, sell it like alcohol, quit trying so hard to put crazy laws into it.
It is no worse than alcohol except for the testing.
@@mgoh1984 ? It’s not worse? It’s not even close to comparable. Alcohol is a million times worse than weed.
@@Agdjfooelzxk just don't mix the two...;)
@@Agdjfooelzxk Right? All these people talking about how weed is no worse than alcohol have the right intent but alcohol is so much more harmful than weed. I'm not one of those people that believes weed is some miracle drug either, it has some marginal positive effects in certain areas but I would say overall is still mostly "harmful" whereas alcohol has next to zero positive benefits(and more and more studies showing drinking alcohol is never good) and is literally just toxic for your body.
Also I'm for both, I drink, I smoke. I just think its ridiculous that weed is demonized more than alcohol given the reality of their potential abuse and harm they can cause. But I guess that alcohols got that "been part of human culture for thousands of years" thing going for it.

Declassification……. Schedule 3 is not the right move
I’ve been addicted to weed, alcohol, benzos, meth, and cigarettes and weed has been by far the hardest to quit. By far. Like by a lot. Total declassification is not the right move.
@@Combat_Medic that doesn’t make sense … so putting it in the class with pills which u know is controlled by the phama Indrusty the same ones who gave u oxys and a bunch of other synthetic crap that is not only getting people like yourself addicted but killing them … let me ask u how many people have died from marijuana and only marijuana… much respect to you thou my father was a combat medic in nam
@@Combat_Medic i replied to your comment earlier and it was taken down .. I repeat how does that make sense ? Moving it to a schedule 3 would put it in the same category as pills .. who runs that gambit the pharma co’ same ones that’s been peddling oxys and other synthetic substances to the country and creating addiction and overdoses … it needs Declassification it’s a natural plant … how many people have overdosed on marijuana? Just marijuana.. 0 …I respect ur a combat medic so was my father in the Vietnam war thank you for your service
Well it's about time. This is a long time coming. Alcohol is way more dangerous.
Still cant own a gun and have a card.. Unacceptable and not good enough.
Then buy on the black market and quit crying 😿
@@alfpedersen2201 I’ll do you one better and buy legal hemp with high thca online and get it delivered to my door by the United States postal service and have a concealed carry license. Loophole. Oops. Why so aggressive? It’s not good enough when 36 states run it med or rec. we don’t need nanny’s, president might but I can wipe my own ass. Mo fos still in jail over your blackmarket suggestion brother.
What about sugar or caffeine?
Why is it a schedule anything? Alcohol is a schedule 0 and I can get way more wrecked on it than i could smoking. Btw this is coming from someone who drinks and doesn't even smoke🤷♂️
Follow the money. It continually seeks solutions to undefined problems solely to maximize profits.
I’m pretty much a full believer now that it is far safer than both alcohol and nicotine and far better I’d say almost in every way
After watching generations in my community be villified and go to jail because of this substance to see these types of people talking like this about it lets me know the news should never and will never be trusted by me. I remember just years ago stories by these same types of business dressed folks talking about how the country is being ruined blah blah blah
Perhaps your community should have stopped using the substance if it was illegal... if we made sugar/alcohol/(insert anything else here) illegal, any logical person would adapt despite how uncomfortable it is. If they partake, it is fair to face consequences if you get caught. No need for victim mentality
Observations are now victimhood, check your dictionary lol. I’m stating what we all observed seems like your uncomfortable with that. Psychologists are helpful with that sort of thing…u know stark reality
Free up tobacco, stop the taxing and persecution of a God given plant!
Try declassifying... and stop exploiting people for a career.
The DEA had 8 months to reschedule Cannabis from a schedule one to a schedule three, it’s ridiculous they are taking this long to get this done.
The aspect of urine testing is totally out of line. Especially when it comes to employment. There is no contest that employers do not want their employees high or drunk while on the job.
You've never been paid to bang nails then lol. 😂
Some people are a step behind the times. Others are light years.
For all those that lost their property and freedom for decades over draconian weed laws; Too bad so sad. They will find other ways to pay lawyers and fill prisons.
The Government should not be able to tell you what you can or cannot put in your body
Now do Ozempic
This means absolutely nothing it should be treated like alcohol and tobacco.
It’s past time to reschedule this!
Narcotics are Opiate Based anyways you all are using the wrong word.
Marinol has been schedule 3 for many years. Same active ingredient and is much stronger. It shouldn't be scheduled at all, this is just money given to a failing industry. Can't tax like a schedule 1, but will there be generics and will pharmacies carry it. Once legalized like this, look for dozens of pills like marinol and a price increase.
Very much a politician……said a lot, but didn't disclose anything important.
About damn time!
LOL call a spade a spade, but weed, different. but then the world is going to "POT". what a JOKE.
Just fyi for those who do not know but class 3 is still illegal…
But it acknowledges medicinal use and would allow for prescription and insurance reimbursement
U get high when u smoke your first cig but get use to it and doesn't bother u much after that till u get cancer
Bout time
RECLASSIFIED NOW AND PUT MARIJUANA IN THE MEDICAL RESEARCH
LEGALIZED NOW
CORRUPT SYSTEM
Thank you Biden! I’ll gladly pop a gummy and go vote proudly for Trump. 🎉
😅🤣😁
😂😅😂
you're voting for someone that had 4 years to help working class people and chose not to?
😅😅😅😅
Tax on weed in states where it’s legal is passed on to consumers as are taxes on all businesses. The owners laugh at consumers all the way to the bank.
ok, let's get the ball rolling..... Are they doing it now, tomorrow, next election?
Everybody gonna get highhhhh 🤪
Just in time for the elections.
Goid
Still voting red
what do they have to offer working class people?
4 more years of Netanyahu
@@cynthiagonzalez537Your family is lying to you to stop your crying. They're voting for Trump, they told me.
This is because student loan repayment has bought enough votes so now this idea might appeal to the youth.
It doesn’t look Biden is getting the youth vote with the Israel vs Palestinian war.
Buying votes
yeah doing good things to get people to vote for you is how it does and should work
So make up your mind is it a drug or a herb but it's legal in DC it's all a money racket and tobacco is a whole lot worse for u and really addicted but they r legal and cost tax payers $$$$ and take people lives slowly but that's OK for $
Still dope
It's called cannabis or hemp plant. Marijuana is a bad slang and racist.
People like you can prove everything on earth is racist including earth itself.
It’s still dope. It’s for the weak
@@mgoh1984 You can prove it to yourself, just trace the word back and it's usage. It was used in 1900 to associate the plant with Latino and Hispanic migrants by a group headed by a dude named Henry Anslinger
It should be schedule 2...medical use, highly addictive, and creates massive effect on social productivity and hault in mental maturation. Look at groups in general that have used it and are known to use it regularly. See their general social status, educuational achievements, and what the consistent long term side effects of those who have and still use it cronically, habitually overall. If you look you will see this drug is as detrimental to high level intellectual pursuits that are in no way comparable to alchohol but rather hard drugs.
Uhhh...no.
Wrong on all counts. Abuse of any drug can have negative consequences to your life. Cannabis does not create physical dependence (unlike many uncontrolled psychiatric, heart medications, anxiety medications, hormone therapies, or any other drug which causes withdrawal/adverse affect upon cessation). Using cannabis in a responsible manner has never been easier. This is an antiquated view that lacks any understanding of the true effects of properly dosed usage. Imo
Congratulations! You win the internet’s dumbest comment of the day!
Keep it illegal please!
Btw alcohol is worse than weed
Get educated please!
The person who can't even spell "commander" wants you to keep it illegal
This kind of progress doesn't come about when conservatives are in control.
That's why I'm voting Democrat in 2024. :)
A moment of silence for Daniella's last two brain cells imploding. RIP.
Marijuana cannot be moved from Schedule I to Schedule III without changing the definitions since marijuana has no accepted medical use.
Then why is it medically available in 75% of the US states?
Well actually it can because if it could be put there it could definitely be be moved
Why is "medical weed" available in my state?ohio? I know lots of people it's helped..including me
There are plenty of medical uses for marijuana; which is why so many states legalized it (not to mention the tax revenue it generates). Research the body’s endocannabinoid system for more on how it’s medically used by the body.
By design. Cottage judicial system industry. Universities were prohibited from research of that exact subject. Medicinal use going back thousands of years.
Stupid to keep it illegal..
ZThe Fed should just , Make pot Legal recreational in all of the States!
Lets go, dank Brandon 😶🌫️
Took him long enough.
