The "chaos" to me is nothing more than a distraction from the real issue this election. Widespread, rampant, Legalization.

Whether they reclassify this summer or not, some point in the very near future they'll have to act on something.

The DEA is leading from behind.

Wait and watch.

It's too sketchy to be truly credible but I hope it's true anyway.

No, the DEA will not Legalize Marijuana on August 1

Excerpt-

A weekly newspaper from Santa Monica, Calif., reported on Saturday that the “US Gov’t Will Legalize Marijuana on August 1,” claiming that “weed will soon be legal in all 50 states, with a prescription.”

According to the Santa Monica Observer, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intends to reschedule cannabis from it’s current status as a Schedule I drug to that of a Schedule II.

However, the only source of this information is an anonymous lawyer with knowledge of the matter:

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will reclassify marijuana as a “Schedule Two” drug on August 1, 2016, essentially legalizing medicinal cannabis in all 50 states with a doctor’s prescription, said a DEA lawyer with knowledge of the matter.

Shouldn’t we be excited? Not quite, as this “news” is unlikely to be true.

I can't post a link, but the website is thedailychronic.net.

I hope this is bullshit, the sources don't seem credible enough...

No it won't happen they want to see fda clinical studies showing that the benefits outweigh the known "risks" of marijuana consumption for each ailment it can help. So maybe when that study on smoked mota for treatment resistant ptsd is finished and it's proven that weed is indeed helpful then we might see the schedule change but only for the specific ailments that pass their studies. but outright full legalization won't happen ever they always want to set plant , purchase and possession limits. Its disappointing I know but weed Will be consumed all the same no matter how much they try to stop it.

FUCK the DEA. Schedule 2 is no better than 1, prolly worse. This is all horseshit anyway.

Those guys should all burn in hell

[aridbud]

Nah, DEA will do a double speak and continue their lost cause.

Clamping down on opioid abuse is reason enough FDA/DEA won't budge from their position.
