Why are they sending the recommendation to the very agency that gets fed money for prosecuting and seeking out weed cases. Just saying this while thing is dumb and the people in charge has overinflated pockets while the actual people suffer
I'm a research engineer for DOD and have a Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Why should I lose my job if I smoked a joint last weekend while disc golfing with my friends? The laws are ridiculous and need to change sooner rather than later.
They can't. Too many high risk jobs are regulated on a federal level. I just got a job on tugboats pushing barges. I refuse to work with anyone smoking weed. I'm 28 and smoked half my life so I can see some issues that would put my life at risk if I have to rely on somebody that's stoned. Plus when shit like fires, collisions, and Allison's happen I need somebody that can control their adrenaline and act instantly.
Those high risk jobs I bet drink after work and alcohol causes more death then weed the real reason is insurance company don't wanna pay for medical weed
@@TheLastOG88 being intoxicated at work and legalizing cannabis for personal use are 2 different issues. Your 28, your still young. Not everyone experiences cannabis the same. And its not legal to show up to work drunk, and many employers even refuse to hire tobacco users. Both are legal and far more addicting then cannabis. And both have far more deaths responsible.
They have to be careful to make sure the "legalization" process is slow and only lines the pockets of already rich people, and not the people who have been fighting on the front lines for decades.
Now that several senators have invested heavily in cannabis sales and futures you see them push for rescheduling. It should not be scheduled at all however because that keeps it criminalized. No prescription, no legally obtained weed. You won't have the option of prescribing it to yourself.
It's their way of keeping cannabis criminalized and within their purview for enforcement. Cannabis interdiction is 80% of their annual budget. Why would anyone think they are going to give that up? And all of that is before Big Pharma weighs in. You cannot patent or copyright a plant. This plant poses a threat to the five biggest money making prescribed medications they produce for anxiety, blood pressure and pain management. Since they can't own it and monopolize it, it's pressure on politicos to just say "you ain't getting any".
If you think about it, heroine is schedule 1, no medicinal value. Excuse me, heroine is the same thing as morphine and it's given every day in every hospital. They need to decriminalize everything. My body my choice.
It puts the weed in the gov hands not home growers or caregivers. Only pharmacy can dispense said meds? Not what we want. Also insurance companies can now over pay for crap weed that normally would be scrapped. You dont want that. We dont want that.
People are dreaming if they think the DEA will give up on the one drug that gives them 80% of their annual budget. If you are a driver you will not be smoking.
I drove for 30 years and smoked my whole life. You just have to be willing to lose your job at any time and have to go get another one, as I had to 3 times.
@@SKDYCAT Since you went there, I'll share this. One time I got a random and it was bad timing. I had a good friend who didn't smoke, so I popped over to his place with a condom and asked if he would "fill it" for me. He did and everything was set. Until it ruptured and I drove home soaked in urine instead of showing up at the clinic. Hell, the wages I was earning back then putting up with that not see shit, can be earned doing most anything these days. I did Reefer trailers, Dry vans, Feed trailers, had TWO driver of the year awards for safety and customer service, all while being a smoker, but of course, NOT on the job ever. Retired 2 years ago.
Most buisiness owners do not give a F if you're a solid worker that is an asset to the buisiness, the last thing they want to do is fire a good employee. Their insurance companies and workman comp programs leave them with no choice in many cases. Insurance companies say Steve had marijuana in his system when he caused a million dollar injury lawsuit, you're on your own buisiness owner. If you owned a company you wouldn't put your entire life savings on the line so I guy can smoke at night, if you would you're not very intelligent.
i used to sell pot on the black market for almost 30 years, in california. now i live in tennessee, where they take your house and cars if they find a joint. i'll be dead before its ever legal here. but you can bring a gun into a restaurant. i only order takeout.
Your employer has to approve saliva testing. I just had a random yesterday and asked the lady if they will be changing to saliva and she said if your employer gives the approval. I hope so because I'd love to smoke a joint or two on my day off and not worry about it showing up on a drug test when I'm not even impaired.
I hope it does something for truckers, I haven’t been able to find a company that will take me on in over a year. The way they treat an otherwise good driver with a good work ethic and history is completely crazy. This has been the biggest hindrance I ever experienced to being a productive member of society, all because I had a little THC left in my system from a few weeks ago during my vacation. It makes me sad and angry to realize that there are many other good and hard working men and women who are experiencing the same thing as me, collecting unemployment when they’d rather be working. So counterproductive.
how crazy is it that i was prescribed Medical Marijuana for post military PTSD from Iraq, but then told by the government that i cannot use this prescription AND maintain a class A cdl. HOWEVER, if id like to hop on Xanax .5mg up to 4 times a day, that would be acceptable... What kinda sense does that make. Ive smoked pot twice in my life, both in highschool, im 40 now and took my first couple prescribed xanax and i can tell you without a doubt if either one should be disqualifying for operating a commercial vehicle it should 100% be xanax. Unbelievable.
"A bridge to far" sorry but the united states is supposed to be for the people not corporate control. It absolutely should be descheduled, if tobacco and alcohol can be exempt from scheduling then cannabis should be.
Just a suggestion to the DEA to make a change. Totally up to the DEA. Time has proven that random drug testing is not about Safety. Random drug testing is and always has been about a steady flow of urine for PROFIT$.
Dr.Nuesse, I am curious on the GC/MS testing practices for a DOT drug test/UA My main question and concern - is the gc/ms testing used the first time a urine sample is given? Or is it only used for confirmation after a positive result for a substance. My next question is, for a DOT UA health screen where do they run a GC/MS test for that or what testing method is used to see if you're healthy? Thank you for the videos and for all the insight you give us!
It’s already been researched all the way back to the 50s. Federal government already owns patents on it. Government programs dated all the back in the early 80s. If you qualified.. you received a tin canister of pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes in the mail each month. With a government prescription label on it.
They dont want to lose the money they get from fighting it. How many people are employed in this enforcement and dogs trained to find cannabis 🐶. They wont ever legalize marijuana.
so ketamine is schedule 3. it is legal and dot does not test for it. does this mean marijuana will be in the same boat . or will big pharma keep it just out of reach till they find a way to keep their massive income for drugs/prescriptions? thanks appreciate your videos
well, that should be Descheduled cause, what about us, home growers we won't be absolutely no home grow marijuana it's gonna end all that if this becomes a schedule, 3 drug, be safe, stay strong God bless
JUST MAKE IT FEDERALLY LEGAL!!! God im pissed this really just makes it so more greedy pieces of garbage can profit and people who actually care about the plant are pushed out.
Just because the DEA received the letter from HHS, it doesn't mean the DEA will act on it. There's too much $$ at stake for the DEA. If this was such a high priority to the Big Guy, why didn't he sign an executive order on day 1, like the rest of his dictates? Long live the Bureaucracy!!
I have a company waiting to hire me for weeks now, so im dumping fake piss, and whats even better is i have a louisiana mmj card, its legal for me. Cheek swabs, or breath test for thc, urine test let someone who smokes crack have a better shot at a job. Then if I have a script, how is it legal, but my script not honored. If I was high on adderall all day at work its no problem, but what I do at the comfort of my own home is a problem. GFY politicians
I asked to my company for pre employment, if i can do saliva because ive stopped smoking 1.5 months ago and im still dirty! And they said its not allowed 🙄
Everyone smokes weed and if you don't, 100% chance you know someone who does and that's that. Legalize the plant already federally in all 50 states this is getting ridiculous just sitting around waiting for these "rich" people to find a way to profit off of legalization because right now they're profiting off of it being illegal
They will draw out the deschedulization of marijuana for atleast another decade or two. First they will reschedule which will then give us more strength in state by state basis. Once that happens there will be even more research done that will prove even more how ridiculous the schedulization of marijuana is. As that happens and most of the remaining states move towards legalization there will eventually be a descheduling. In that time frame im sure they will try to bust many people on gray areas within the law as they need weed to be illegal to help fund their agendas.
Scedule 3 means that very expensive licence and regulations will need to be followed to produce package and distribute. Also means that recreational use would be illegal as will be growing a few plants in a legal state. It is a classic bait and switch. Legalize it fully ffs.
You said in a recent video that if marijuana were to be rescheduled to 3 or higher it would not longer be tested for by fmcsa. You said schedule 1 and schedule 2 it stays on the banned substances list for drivers. Now you are saying schedule 3 still on DOT random?
Yes, based on the article and info released it looks like it will probably still be tested for. If this changes in the future I will certainly make an update.
I guess it’s wierd since there is such a comparison to alcohol but no one tests for that in excess only pot lol alcohol is so more an issue pot can be an issue also but if you can get a dui for both wouldn’t it make sense when your tested to test for both
Deschedule already, if they find that it needs to be scheduled again whicj they wont because its ridiculous that it ever was scheduled but here we are.
My wife smokes for relief as she is disabled. I failed a DT at my suboxone doctor for weed and I dont even smoke it. It was level 52 and she said minimum to fail is 25. I have to get my dot physical before October 2nd. I'm scared to death
@Juan-ip1ow turns out I didn't even need my dot physical it was good till next year. I just had to renew my driver's license itself. But yeah I've went back to my doctor multiple times and it's out of my system. I guess it's where she smoked it while laying in bed with me, or maybe me touching her plants idk. But its gone now.
@@baylenthedogg3242 if your around people that smoke it may appear in your system but the levels are usually too low for you to fail. The good thing is that it doesn’t take long for it to get out of your system. And that’s good that you didn’t have to take the test I would’ve been so stressed out lol.
Agreed both kills more people a minute than the good lord ahould allow. Seriously wtf are we doing as a country allowing this to be a thing in 2023. Sad times man
@@ixrer the heart center was full again last night due to poor diets of the last 20 years. It used to be smoking but with far less smokers now it seems it was food. Add cocaine and people will be gwtting bypass surgeries at 25 and in debt a mansion. Plus there is no limiting factor to use besides death. Idk, i have to say legal and widespread cocaine use would be a disaster.
If Coke and heroin was legal, it would get rid of the cartels. The people that are cutting Coke and heroin with fentanyl, and all the overdoses would go away minus people that take it too far.
So if it goes to schedule 3 will you be able to have it in your system if you have a prescription for it ? If it shows up on a urine test and you have a prescription you ahould be fine correct ?
South Africa has the best system in my opinion. The use of weed is 100% legal but it is a controlled substance so it cannot be sold to persons not in position of a prescription for it and they can only buy it from licensed sources , however it can be gifted and seeds are allowed to be sold aswell as Cannabis with lower than 2% THC. Possession is not illegal. Giving it to people is not illegal. Smoking it is not illegal. Only restriction is selling without a license/to people without a prescription. I think it’s perfect.
Not what home growers want. Dispensery weed sucks. You dont want the gov controlling your weed. Only big pharma will profit. This all its about money. Insurance companies can now overpay for garbage weed in guise as medicine. Thats the plan.
So according to hhs subboxone falls in the same category? It's obvious the people want to use cannabis. And it's obvious the us isn't run by the people. But let's keep voting and hoping for change 😢
I want to know how this will affect the home grower? Will we still be able to grow our own medicine at home? Cause it’s still illegal to produce schedule 3 drugs at home.
It doesn't matter if you get addicted to weed. You can go into any store and buy alcohol which causes hundreds of health problems, and your telling me that weed is bad. 😂
Question. I have to take a pre-employment (non dot) drug screen. The email said a 9 panel test plus the audio. Im looking at the paper I gotta take says '10 panel-NO THC. So, that would make it the 9 panel in the email. So, does that mean they're not testing for that? Ive read more companies are veering away feom testing for that. I also have my med card.
Woo-hoo 🥳 .

In Canada Truckers can smoke as long as they pass breath saliva test which tests if u smoked within 4 to 6 hours makes so much sense
Yes it does, U.S. should do that.

Alcohol and tobacco should be schedule 1 if our government was honest. Cannabis should not be scheduled at all if alcohol and tobacco are not.
Agreed both kills more people a minute than the good lord ahould allow. Seriously wtf are we doing as a country allowing this to be a thing in 2023. Sad times man
Alcohol is such a destructive drug, and it's legal.
Texas will drag its feet on this.
Fuck Abbott yall want wheel chair man that's what happens
Wonder who paid them to not recommend descheduling.
Micheal Phelt it was a schedule 420. Special.
Why is alcohol not on the list? Makes 0 logic
What company owns the saliva test?
If it gets descheduled will it still be on the DOT random testing. Or still at the companys discretion.
Trucking companies will drop the testing requirement as soon as they legally can. They don't wanna lose drivers.
wheeeeeether legal or not we will use it as we pleas forever..
O....i get it so congress can hedge the market
Stop being ignorant. Legalization.
Legalize MDMA and Coke!
Coke and MDMA are actually deadly.
Honestly? I don't disagree, as long as people know the risks.
Hell yeah party on🎉 ❤😅
@@ixrer the heart center was full again last night due to poor diets of the last 20 years. It used to be smoking but with far less smokers now it seems it was food. Add cocaine and people will be gwtting bypass surgeries at 25 and in debt a mansion. Plus there is no limiting factor to use besides death. Idk, i have to say legal and widespread cocaine use would be a disaster.
If Coke and heroin was legal, it would get rid of the cartels. The people that are cutting Coke and heroin with fentanyl, and all the overdoses would go away minus people that take it too far.
Whats your take on the government keeping you dna with saliva testing ?
It is only speculation but I can understand the concern
So if it goes to schedule 3 will you be able to have it in your system if you have a prescription for it ? If it shows up on a urine test and you have a prescription you ahould be fine correct ?
probably not. At least to start
@@EasyDOTPhysicals OK thank you
They love their evil control
Why was my comment deleted?
South Africa has the best system in my opinion. The use of weed is 100% legal but it is a controlled substance so it cannot be sold to persons not in position of a prescription for it and they can only buy it from licensed sources , however it can be gifted and seeds are allowed to be sold aswell as Cannabis with lower than 2% THC. Possession is not illegal. Giving it to people is not illegal. Smoking it is not illegal. Only restriction is selling without a license/to people without a prescription. I think it’s perfect.
Not what home growers want. Dispensery weed sucks. You dont want the gov controlling your weed. Only big pharma will profit. This all its about money. Insurance companies can now overpay for garbage weed in guise as medicine. Thats the plan.
So according to hhs subboxone falls in the same category? It's obvious the people want to use cannabis. And it's obvious the us isn't run by the people. But let's keep voting and hoping for change 😢
LEGALIZE IT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to know how this will affect the home grower? Will we still be able to grow our own medicine at home? Cause it’s still illegal to produce schedule 3 drugs at home.
So does that mean a cdl holder can have a medical marijuana card?
I have a video on this
It doesn't matter if you get addicted to weed. You can go into any store and buy alcohol which causes hundreds of health problems, and your telling me that weed is bad. 😂
Just legalize it 😩
2:43 really quick to not mention Ketamine as a class 3 drug. sad to hear Marijuana is being treated like this.
Question. I have to take a pre-employment (non dot) drug screen. The email said a 9 panel test plus the audio. Im looking at the paper I gotta take says '10 panel-NO THC. So, that would make it the 9 panel in the email. So, does that mean they're not testing for that? Ive read more companies are veering away feom testing for that. I also have my med card.
Soooo, if it becomes a schedule 3 and i have a medical card does that mean im ok at work? My work only recognizes federal laws.
LEGALIZE IT‼️
Thank God 🙏
We have sooooo much information from Israel and know the reality of cannabis risk and benefit.
Why don't they have the people vote on if they want it legalized or not and to take it off the scheduled drug list
Woo-hoo 🥳 . Saliva test r qicker to overcome . & the idea it could possibly b under madisciable perscrition could b the future grey area 4 DOT qualified in the meantime until off the clock protection is near," sounds productive " 🤔 people should b able to 🤗light up a joint or vape it up after ther hours of slavery service is over or their just generally done driving 4 the day.
