Federal scientists recommend easing restrictions on marijuana
In newly disclosed documents, federal researchers find that cannabis may have medical uses and is less likely to cause harm than drugs like heroin.
This would be so great, not just for people with legal prescriptions, but also for employers. I was close with people in HR in my last job were afraid of being sued either way. They are in legally unprecedented areas. Let someone who uses a legal and illegal drug work? Or refuse them work for their Rx.
Reminds me of “don’t ask, don’t tell”
I guarantee employers will still drug test and fire you even if it's legal. Because most states allow them to fire you for whatever they feel like as long as it doesn't violate the Civil Rights Act.
Some might try, but it’d probably get litigated. You can’t really get fired if you have a legal prescription (legal recreational use would be different, but the DEA has suggested schedule III status, not recreational legalization). The HR people I know are mostly concerned about their liability (using machinery while high, driving, interacting with customers, etc.)
Still slippery even legal. It can stay in the system for a bit so someone working "high" is a factor
It would solve so many problems though just have it legal and controled
genuine question: why does this have to take so long? we all know it's going to be months as the gears grind towards the inevitable conclusion. why can't they just do the politics, run a hurry up offense, get it done
My guess: they are making sure their corporate buddies have the logistics and support in place to corner the market and price out small businesses owners.
They have for a long time. I seem to remember the DEA commissioning studies that they would later have to get approval to officially ignore because they didn't like the outcome, multiple times. They would use highly reputable research centers and then drag their names through the mud. War on drugs is a profit and power generator.
but nothing will done except to make sure cannabis businesses and corporate interests stay protected
our current leader flip flopped on this issue firing staffers who had use cannabis and going back on campaign promises
decriminalization means the states decide what to do like Florida
places like Florida make money off the whole thing by taxing a software company there that makes the cannabis compliant software for all legal states, by the taxes/ fees generated from medical cannabis in Florida, and from the free labor/ fees and such from it being illegal recreationally by locking up recreational users and parole fees and what have you
biden chose a prosecutor who made a career out of making cannabis users the enemy in California for a vice president what did people expect when voting for him
What is happening in your post?
I don't think anyone was under the impression corporations wouldn't benefit from legalizing marijuana. Legalizing marijuana under any president was never going to create luxury space communism on its own.
Yes, we know taxes will be taxes and exists and legalizing marijuana will create more of them.
What are you talking about software companies for?
If you don't like Biden. That's fair. Your feelings are valid. But just say that instead of this feaver dream of a post.
I don't like Trump but I I have no problem saying his administration did some things well. If Trump legalized marijuana, I would praise him for that.
Problem is they will reschedule it and bye bye legal industry. All of it will be in the hands of the feds. Fuck that
Yeah the same thing happened to the beer industry and you can't find it anywhere
Beer isn't a scheduled substance.
Here's what the DEA classifies schedule 3 drugs as: Schedule III
Schedule III drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drugs abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are: products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with codeine), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone.
