Biden to Reclassify Marijuana to Schedule Class that includes Tylenol
The Biden administration is set to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance, marking a significant shift in U.S. drug policy. This move would acknowledge marijuana’s potential medical benefits and reduce restrictions on its research and pharmaceutical use.
The Department of Health and Human Services supports this change, highlighting marijuana’s lower health risks compared to other controlled substances. The rescheduling could benefit the $34 billion cannabis industry by easing tax burdens and potentially reducing the black market.
However, some critics argue that it could lead to increased marketing targeted at children and ignore the risks associated with high-potency marijuana.
The decision is still subject to a public review period and potential congressional intervention.

He should have done this on day one. Better late than never, I guess.

Tylenol with Codine...not just Tylenol. Big difference. Plain old Tylenol is not scheduled.

Another one who doesn't understand how rule working in the federal government works. Do you know how many of Trump's rules and regulations were struck down by the courts on administrative grounds simply because he didn't follow proper rulemaking procedures and rushed them through instead? Do you really want the same thing to happen here?

[quote]Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The administration is expected to reschedule it in a category that includes steroids and Tylenol with codeine.
This is a good move.

I have said before that there are a remarkable number of similarities between Biden and Trump.
Putting this as an election year bribe to young people is extremely Trumpian. If this was possible, why wasn’t this done in 2021?

R8 do you like the fact it happened or not?
I do.
Sure, I can bitch and moan it wasn't done earlier. But I'm glad it's done now.
(By the way, passing sexy laws in an election year is neither Trumpian nor is it Bidenonian. It's been done since forever.)

Old and stoned Joe is at it again!!! The way this country is going, it’s probably a good thing that we have easier access to things that cloud reality.

This isn’t passing sexy laws. Are you a really young millennial or zoomer? Did you not see Schoolhouse Rocks’s How a Bill Becomes a Law?
This is an executive change which as the article says cannot just happen. It will be challenged. It is a cheap attempt to bribe voters with something they may not get, like student loan forgiveness.
