Cannabis Scheduling: Past Present and Future
Переглядів 36811 місяців тому
People are often surprised that the federal government’s classification of cannabis says it is more dangerous than cocaine or meth and that it has no medical properties. Under the direction of President Biden, federal agencies are currently reexamining the schedule of cannabis classification, but it is a complicated process, steeped in a long history of propaganda, racism, and red tape. This we...

2022 Office of Medical Cannabis Control Outline
Dont support crooked people.
Its all a multi state gov mafia monopoly, meant to have power over patients own bodies.
This preplanned gov monopoly that is oppressing patients is disgusting. Government gangsters at their finest....not America..... Its been a banana Republic.
Hero
It doesn't taste the best but I started to enjoy eating flower.
Formal studies have tested the effects of cannabis on driving. The results? Slightly slower speeds and safer driving. Every State that has re-legalized cannabis has seen a 9% drop in highway fatalities. Fewer bodies on the road, folks. Hundreds fewer every year. Alcohol kills brain cells. Cannabis is a neuroprotectant--it actually encourages brain-cell growth.
In 1974 Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover ordered federal agents to break into the science laboratory of the University of Virginia, destroy the test equipment, and steal the workers’ notes. Why? Because the lab had discovered that cannabis could reduce tumors and destroy cancer cells. Nixon hated the hippies of the late 1960s. They called him, “Tricky Dick”. Hoover wanted a new Prohibition, to keep his army of agents ‘in the field’ of criminalizing Americans. Yet, within a few years, the Guzman Study in Spain, and UCLA’s Tashkin 30-Year Population Study confirmed Virginia’s findings. Small wonder that cannabis has been worshipped as sacraments by most of the world’s major religions. To the Christians it was the Biblical Tree of Life. Why a ‘tree’? Because it could grow to ten or twelve feet high. And people used to be shorter. If you were all of five feet tall, folks called you, ‘Stretch’, and wanted YOU on THEIR team.
Greatest plant on earth. Saved/prolonged my father’s life with bone marrow cancer, got numerous friends off hard stuff, radically helps my carpel tunnel, makes life easier etc.
There should be a bill stating that everyone who runs for president of the United States takes a polygraph with the important question “regardless of the decisions you make while in office, will you do them with the belief that you will have America’s best interest at heart?”
I came back here in my continued studies in retirement searching why MAGA seems to hate women. This didn't address the issue. The last 8 yrs keeps giving me proof but no explanations what turns US Vets & retired nurses into homeless widows in this country. All my nurse friends disappeared or lost their minds. It's quite odd. Voting just looks like assisting a Psychopath in our destruction now, so I don't participate in the farce anymore.🕵️😎
I'm left to assume MAGA are angry & hate women because their rich daddies allowed men to rape them in business deals & they blame their rich moms for not protecting them from rich men. I no longer know any GOP men since my Spy Exhubby died 11 yrs ago tho. This is just how it looks from Sarasota where Telecoms sent my family 5 decades ago. No GOP guys will talk to me anymore after all the decades of druggings & assaults & home losses here. I'm a Retired Psych Nurse & was Foster Mom to a serial killer victim's son here. That serial killer claims he killed Nicole Brown Simpson & Ron Goldman when he was hired by OJ to steal some diamond earrings back that he had given Nicole, by the way.🕵️🤷
Omfg i remember this show back when i was a kid that was in the 1970s
They were still playing these for kids in the early 2000’s when I was a kid if I recall correctly
end the genocide they call the drug war 🎉
I love that picture of Nixon 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
But they don’t even debate they just add what they want and if it’s not there they vote against it
This following statement needs to be THE answer to all questions/answers that American tax payers needs to give on any cannabis legalization talks. First and foremost cannabis needs no more access restrictions or classification, easy access, accountability, etc, than tobacco and alcohol has in place across America Why is this point not being made in every single discussion is beyond my comprehension. Also, big Pharma needs NO control or input on policies that apply to medical or recreational cannabis as there end agendas are always the same and that is that they control it so they control the pricing which is going to negatively effect the cost, accessibility, etc ………100%
Schedule III will not make it legal. It needs to be DE scheduled.
Very informative.
our Constitution have any allegiance?
Schedule 3 and cannabis will be lost to corporate America and all the small business people will be left out in the cold. People better get their craft honed
As a republican myself, one of my favorite things to do after a long day of back breaking work is to hang out in my back yard and pass a bowl back and forth over the fence with my democrat neighbor.
@ 67 Get The Gov Gone...LAW OF LIES . So I See It's A BIO Nuclear END One Way OR The Other @ 34 CPM Greed Of Fake Money Made It SO Fluoride In The Water By LAW ?? Why Control
It’s legal doesn’t matter what the law says the people have spoken
Tuna has heavy metals because the older the fish the more you have with the toxins! Our food, like meats has forever chemicals & heavy metals in it, from human waste mixed with cleaning chemicals etc etc etc..From the waste treatment plants for fertilizer & feed by the mindless ignorant producers of it! If The Meathead'$ would just use worm castings & fish waste we would not have any issues with fertilizers/cattle feed, etc. With any of it! So now you know you can't put the blame of pot as the excuse or reason for heavy metals in pot! I am the only person on the planet that knows how to make fish etc, etc, to grow 5 to 6 inches a month & how to recreate the wild for aquaculture that no one else on the planet, knows in with what I know! SO DON'T LISTEN TO ME!! So JUST KEEP DOING THE SAME AND LISTEN TO MORONS LIKE NIXON & WAR CRIMINALS~ All the people knowing nothing should be the last to decide the rules! Like we have today!!
Stop arresting patients and DESCHEDULE CANNABIS
Who wants to buy it legal it's to freaking expensive, you have to be a idiot to pay 15.00 a gram for what the government calls not cannabis.
This chick says um a lot.
Im in oregon. I eat the hell out of weed. Idk why ppl are oding on herion, they could eat weed and try to be a crabby ass..lol
Wuh?
How may I work with you more closely? I believe the industry(medical, recreational, hemp) needs to unite, stick together, and collaborate.
Why is cannabis a schedule 3 drug? This is a plant put on earth by the creator. What shall tomatoes be scheduled? Get government out of regulating plants. It’s only about money..😮😊
I'm in AZ and it is so cool law enforcement BPD DEA etc are getting after the illegals and not law abing cannabis consumers
It's number #1 KILLER over all!! Oh! WAIT!! That's cigarettes! It's #2 KILLER over all!!! Oh! WAIT! That's Alcohol!! Marijuana has killed no one! It's illegal federally because of Nixon, "Dick" lived up to his name! He ruined so many innocent lives! Save lives, Legalize!! ✌️😎💨🇺🇲 I'm 61 disabled and I've been using since 14! I had to quit drinking, it caused health problems! My lungs are fine, 99% Oxygen! Willie Nelson is still alive and doing well! Further more, hemp Blue Jeans never wore out, parachutes were made of hemp! The whole hemp plant & marijuana have so many valuable benefits! PTSD, ADHD, PAIN RELIEF, CANCER PATIENTS, DEPRESSION...need I say more?...etc.
DOJ is going to fight this tooth and nail. The prison industrial complex makes so much money off of locking up people on drug charges and 80 percent of those incarcerated on drug charges are locked up for marijuana.
Still smoking 😶🌫️ easy to find😂minnesota legalized .🍄 coming soon.
The holy herb should not even be a "drug". Since drugs are made an the holy herb is grown ❤❤❤❤
Nonsense but also correct
Your presentation slides say scheduling for 3 instead of two which is it?
"promosm" ❗
I haven't heard about this! Awesome if it happens.
Schedule III is garbage. DE schedule or pound sand
We have a GOD given right to do any drug we want let alone a herb, and those that were traumed by the police and the Government for smoking weed must now claim damages and the judges and police who put them in prison must get the death penalty...
there is NO HERB with MORE medicinal Value than cannibus, give the Gov who made it illegal the rope...
In south africa its a matter of time b4 we the people hold the Gov and the Judiciary and the police accountable for the trauma caused by the banning of a God given medicine.. they must h/an//////g for the crime..
and besides we will do as we fucken please including han/g//ing our ene/mies like th#e Church and its Governments
there is a deadly force coming for their blood.. we want revenge and justice, nothing else.
It’s unconstitutional to have Cannabis on the Federal Schedule List! It’s a plant! It never killed anyone! Fentanyl should be on the list as it kills and is dangerous!
It’s basically been legal since 2018. We can get it shipped in the mail. You can buy Thca flower, hemp derived delta 9, Thca distillate/isolate, hhc, delta 8, thco , Thcv and more delivered straight to your door. I would really like for it to be at least schedule 3, as I am a big 2a fan
That's a loophole not legal and depending on what state and what cop you deal with you can be arrested. I grew up around growers I've grown my whole adult life I won't let my hard down until it 100 percent they can do a anything legal.
@@hillpunk92that won’t ever happen there’s no money in it
So they'd have no allegiance to our Constitution? Another broken treaty from traitors
Haha that's not legalizing it that's legalizing their version of the not a natural ordeal synthetic means fake
@@user-zx8oy8un8t thca is the exact same thing as regular thc. It’s just thc before its been decarbed aka smoked/cooked/vaped. It is legal due to the farm bill
Very Excellent, Informative presentation. The Presenter needs to be aware of how often she says "UM" .... Maybe it's just me.
