Well if it makes you feel better brother, I am glad. Although, criminal law, both state and federal is complicated and especially as it relates to cannabis today. This is clearly yet another form of lawfare/regulatory capture with an exceptional amount of special interests with many decades in the game. I am not sure which state you live in, but here in Michigan for example the law is already written with a marijuana exception.
- A conviction for manufacturing, creating, delivering, or possessing with the intent to manufacture, create, or deliver any other schedule 1, 2, or 3 substance except marijuana or a substance listed in MCL 333.7212 (1) (d) 3 is a felony punishable by: • imprisonment for not more than seven years; or • a fine of not more than $10,000; or • both.
Hard to believe that was shot 13 years ago for a medical marijuana farmers market in Flint still in operation today.

BTW Who is the "boss" you are referring to here?
Progressives are making progress where Regressives fear to tread.
YAY!
I just hope this doesn't give the Feds an excuse to go back on their "We won't fuck with legal states" policy.
I can hear it now......
"OK, we rescheduled it like you asked. Now, we are going to enforce Schedule 3 laws. You can't produce Schedule 3 drugs at home."
No home grow.
The money people look at home growers as market share they don't have..... yet.
Albeit, I grew gorilla for 50 years out of 53. I can always go back to it. LOL
Only time will tell. Have they set a time frame for actually doing it?
I see pills and suppositories as the future of cannabis in the US, as no doctor will ever recommend combustion. People born today will never smoke hashish in the USA.
Descheduling is the answer. Abolishing the DEA is part of that.
^ I agree.Based on everything I've seen since my teens in the 1980s, this is the beginning of a takeover. I'm not trying to shit on anyone's joy or hope, but I cannot trust either the US government or the even more powerful US pharma industry. Ever.
For people outside the US, I do not know how knowledgeable people are about the power of US pharma. I've always assumed there was a better chance, or a clearer view at least, of how dominant they are, from the outside. They are in every aspect of our lives. You cannot escape them here. Once they get involved, the banker chads we are cursed with now will seem like children trying to monopolize an industry.
I've said MANY times over recent years that "they" are just waiting for a basic framework to be in place so the takeover would be easier. I thought they would need more, but frankly, with so many states wasting so much effort w so many stupid fukn details, I think pharma just said fuk it, let's move before more headaches are created. Gave their puppets at the DEA the go ahead.

New boss is same as the old boss.this is a big shot attorney from Kansas who got my sentence reduced from 5 cannabis felonies and 2-11 mandatory minimum sentence down to one felony of cultivation and 1 year probation and rehab……a looooong time ago
i told him if cannabis becomes legal I may look at and expungement
this was his reply…
bigsur51 ,
I think we are a long way from legalization, especially in Kansas.
The current discussions regarding rescheduling Marijuana from a schedule 1 to a schedule 3 drug is not likely to affect its legal status nationally.
And there does not appear to be much of a moment to have decriminalized in Kansas.
Best advice is simply to keep an eye on what is happening, but don’t expect anything big in the near future.

Will this trickle down to states with fascist laws? Could just be an election year BS promise for votes that never happens. Recently seems like game of finding the biggest pieces of shit they can to run, so the people lose either way.
