Thanks you for the reply. And for setting the example for the trolls out there regarding what civil discourse looks like.
Do you honestly think the fed/courts will allow recreational/commercial cannabis in the near future? I do not. That is why I choose to focus on the protection and expansion of MMj. This is not a valid reason for division in the community, and the anti-CA grower rhetoric that came with 19 and still exists by the butt-hurt few who actually thought it had a chance of passing, and then being upheld by the courts. Nor is the seasonal affect of cali bud on nationwide markets a reason to divide the community. Cali bud has been seasonally flooding the markets for decades. I remember the floods from back in college, messing with my hustle, but it was the way of the black market. We should all focus on MMj, that's where this starts. Horse before cart. Patients before stoners and big ag.
If I had my way 215 would be in every state. But that's not real. Neither is recreation/commercial pot a reality so long as cannabis is schedule 1.
i actually don't disagree with your main point, i.e. the courts throwing up their hands and saying 'we give up'
that probably won't happen
complete victory seem remote, but a victory is quite possible
SCOTUS could issue some weasel decision(not unheard of for them)
they give some ambiguous wording and pass it back to a lower court
this would be one way of signaling Congress to deal with it, they're tired of it
but aside from the courts, DEA is very much in play
they saw 19, and they didn't like it, and they know it may happen again
if they feel prospects are bad for them, this could push the rescheduling down to II
it is really such a pathetically small decision, for Christ's sake, we all know MJ can be useful medicine, they know it too
but rescheduling could blunt legalization efforts, it's a bone for the starving dog(in their minds)
