Marijuana to become a Schedule III drug

I did this for my mom when it first became available as medical. I had to get some special set up so I could be her provider. Not honestly sure how much it helped. A bit of tincture under the tongue, seemed better for her than salve. YMMV.

I’ll have a hit when playing chess with my wife. She smokes more than I. Beer is my drug of choice.

It’s been legal in my state for a while. I don’t use it recreationally, as I find the effects more boring and annoying than actually pleasurable, but I will use it as a sleep aid and as a muscle pain relief for which it is excellent and inexpensive.

Incremental progress is still progress.

When I consume beer and cannabis concurrently, the total I consume is less of each than if I’m only consuming one or the other.

That might be the best justification that I have ever heard. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Likewise. Grass is better for you anyway. Yeah the smoke is bad for your lungs, but you don’t need much now adays.

It should, but I don’t think it will. Unlike other controlled substances, the federal marijuana laws (including some really stiff sentences) are not dependent on what schedule the drug is considered.

For example, 5 year mandatory minimum for 100 kg or 100 plants.

What changing the schedule might do is allow more research into the health benefits and uses.

Decades ago, when talk at work turned to booze, I’d always say “that’s not my drug, man” in the style of Freddy Prinze in Chico and the Man.
eta: The line from Chico and the Man was: “that’s not my job, man”. I used that line at work a lot, too :slightly_smiling_face:
