I think it's amusing that special K is back on the ok list thats all Its almost like the anti-drug push of the 80s and 90s was all bullshit or something
Definitely agree, I'm a little skeptical how therapeutic it can be as a magic bullet given my brother's history with this kind of therapy, but nonetheless the stigma that it's all uniquely harmful needs to be removed from the public conscience.
Most things are safe in a controlled environment with doctors. You’re not going to see ketamine in a vending machine any time soon.
This doesn’t immediately fix banking or insurance. There’s the SAFER act that I believe passed the house and stalled in the senate which would help with that, but this doesn’t move that directly in any way. also I’m wondering how this affects hemp laws down the road, seemingly nothing doing with just this.
Progress is progress, even if it's slow. Feels like beyond research and tax benefits for vendors, this could serve as a legalization...gateway
right But there was a time when taking even the smallest amount, even once, would destroy your life and transform you into a human turnip.....per Nancy R.
It has always had a medical use but new research (bc it is scheduled 3 and allowed) has come out with depression and other mental illnesses.
no doubt. Just answering earlier questions in the thread. It also isn’t entirely meaningless but in some level is a little hollow. I’m trying to push this towards alcohol type regulation, schedule 3 is a far cry from there.
Read the comments on Post and Courier Instagram...most wanted the bill to pass but shockingly there are a couple of dolts on there like good, this ruined Colorado, you don't want any part of the cannabis industry
Comment sections are always bad but that one has an outrageous amount of privilege and provincialism combined with people that don't give a fuck what they write in a public forum with their name next to it. (White dopes think Charleston is the greatest but simultaneously no one else should move there and they are totally not racist)
If one of if the most bible bumping states such as Mississippi can pass medical than anything is possible. it’s so damn easy to get a card. Really pointless to even call it medical. But I guess that kept the Bible beaters happy
Say something costs $47. They’ll make you do a debit for $50 and charge a $2 convenience fee and give you $3 back while $52 is what comes out of your account or something like that. I usually just stop at the atm and get cash
idk if it's more that they don't want the fees or that banks don't want to do business with them but a lot of dispensaries only take cash. they all have an ATM inside or nearby.
This is a good read that talks about timeline, impact on banking, and taxes. https://vicentellp.com/insights/4-major-implications-of-cannabis-moving-to-schedule-iii/
That's wild the place I go gives you the credit option so that's what I've always used. I'll see if it's the same with debit here
DOJ formally started the process today. As expected, if it ever makes it through the courts, it’s going to be a messy deal between the FDA, DEA, and DOJ https://www.marijuanamoment.net/att...-signals-resistance-despite-doj-legal-review/ FDA typically does not grant such approval to botanical substances; instead, it has so far only authorized the use of synthetic THC or CBD-derived medications as prescription drugs for certain conditions. To that end, DOJ emphasized that marijuana would continue to be considered federally illegal, and cannabis-related activity would continue to be criminalized, even if it is rescheduled.
Wish they'd legalize and let the FDA regulate because some of the dosage on shit is all over the place.
The black market is also flooded with carts and edibles that are full of heavy metals and god knows what else (probably the same at shitty dispensaries too).
Yeah I'd like to know what's in it. Absolute morons think we should have less government regulation in this fashion. Just look at the supplement industry where you have to have outside labs test what's actually in shit
Hypothetically, a federal employee for whom the federal prohibition still applies, even in a state like California, wouldn’t have to worry about having their ID scanned or a credit transaction at a dispensary and could go make their own purchase instead of having to coax their wife to pick some up for him even though it’s only like, a 5 minute drive and the lines are rarely as bad as she likes to claim they are. Hypothetically of course.
Nj moved a bill out of committee to limit hemp products to 2.5 mgs today, hoping to get them to move it up before it gets voted on
