It’s About Damn Time

Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services has sent through a recommendation to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III.

This means that the administration recognizes that marijuana has a low potential for physical and psychological dependence, and it can be obtained through prescription should the DEA bite on the recommendation.

What does this mean to the Stoners:

• This does NOT mean that you’ll have legal weed any time soon. Knowing the DEA’s past history with denying the rescheduling of marijuana, I wouldn’t be TOO optimistic…

• The current cannabis policy as a state-by-state approach remains the same. If you are one of the lucky few who get to live in a green state, keep on keeping on!

• It may be only a matter of time before it is legal. Maybe look at some ETFs for the long-term 👀.

Don’t be too disheartened! Take it as a small W! 🏆

While nothing has really changed overnight, it’s still a monumental victory for stoners. Nothing is definite, but it’s surely a good indicator that policy is moving in the right direction!

Looking Forward ➡️:

As we navigate this green wave, it's essential to stay informed and prepared. This recommendation could be a precursor to more inclusive and sensible policies in the future. It's a step, albeit a small one, towards the recognition of the medicinal benefits of cannabis and a move away from the stigmatization associated with it for decades.

So, keep those spirits high and eyes peeled for the latest updates. Remember, every big change starts with a small step, and this might just be that step. Let's remain hopeful and continue to advocate for a greener, more inclusive future. Stay tuned, and stay green! 💚
