      Yup. It's good and all that restrictions are being eased, but likewise I cringe every time someone says "Marijuana has been Schedule I meaning it has no medical use like other drugs including MDMA or LSD" when they're also being given breakthrough therapy designations by the FDA for their therapeutic effects.

Alcohol and cigarettes cause more cancer than anything I’d argue, I’m no scientist but seems like if you use them your likely to get cancer. This makes medical industry richer while also filling the pockets of rich people. If cannabis was legal we’d be able to grow are own medicine be healthier and not use their legal cancer.

    It's weird that no one is saying anything about THCA flower which is the exact same thing as regular weed. In 2018 the farm bill made thca flower legal in all 50 states. It's already recreationally legal everywhere. Just search THCA flower and you will find hundreds of online sites selling THC products ready to send to your door legally. It's not sprayed it's real marijuana. They even include lab reports and a letter to the post office explaining that they are perfectly legal to ship. I can't partake anymore unfortunately 😢.

    My prediction: cannabis is rescheduled to schedule III. Banking protections come in. New regulations, similar to Virginia, are put into place. A pharmacist will need to be at each medical cannabis facility, as well as pharm techs dispensing the product. Big pharma then goes on a mass acquisition of established medical cannabis companies. Following that, lobbying goes through the roof against states with recreational.
    schedule III will likely be a big step in the wrong direction. Just look at other schedule III drugs like ketamine or codeine and look at how they are controlled and distributed. I don’t want a doctor deciding what ROA and dosage are best for me, and I don’t want to buy weed at Walgreens.

      Ive stood in line at dispensaries next to doctors, nurses, psychologists, cops.... Legalization really shows just who really smokes up. And I'd say easily 90% of the population is into the weed.
