Cannabis Debt Rescheduling in the US – Cannabis | weed | marijuana

Cannabis debt restructuring in the United States shouldn’t take more than a day. A literal stroke of the pen is enough. Or maybe a few clicks on the computer.

The Biden administration says it will happen “this year” and is working “as soon as possible”. But why is it taking so long? Why Does Cannabis Reclassification Require Comprehensive Regulatory Review?

Why isn’t there a specific schedule? How hard is it to reschedule cannabis? It was no hassle to lump the non-toxic herb alongside heroin and LSD.

Critics, of course, will say that “the wheels of justice turn slowly” and that “haste makes waste.” But that’s nonsense.

The US government originally had no constitutional right to regulate cannabis.

It’s not that the wheels of justice are turning slowly. The wheels of justice have long been abandoned. In their place are brand new wheels from Microsoft, Pfizer, BlackRock and other crony capitalist organizations.

Re-regulating cannabis in the US is a time-consuming process, for the same reason it took Canada three years to legalize it.

Fascism requires planning. If you re-plan cannabis without a plan, god forbid small entrants could come out on top. And large market players could lose their share.

The Biden administration knows who is buttering their bread. And it’s not the average American.

Passing the buck to the FDA

Your enemies are not in Russia.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently conducting an eight-step “scientific review” to determine whether it should reclassify cannabis at all.

While many anticipate a postponement (or, realistically, a rescheduling), we could end up with the status quo by the end of the year.

Of course, this talk of “determination” or “rescheduling” is unconstitutional. The term comes from the Controlled Substances Act. This illegal law classified substances into five categories, or “schedule.”

Schedule I is said to consist of substances with high abuse rates and little to no medicinal properties. Somehow, cannabis ended up in that category.

The FDA told Marijuana Moment that it is working with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to “see if we can provide the President with an answer that is based on science and evidence.” Stay tuned. We hope to be able to get there soon – hopefully within this year.”

Is there anything more insulting to American liberties than statements like this by federal bureaucrats?

Banning cannabis is unconstitutional. Point. It’s silly for bureaucrats to advise the President based on their interpretations of “science and evidence.”

And so the President unilaterally decides what 340 Americans are allowed to do with their bodies and minds. It goes against American tradition.

The states were right when they flatly opposed cannabis prohibition. All Biden had to do was reschedule cannabis to allow for interstate commerce and banking.

But nepotism is not a natural phenomenon. A free market tends to balance out over the long term. Therefore, special privileges and new rules isolating the corporate elite are needed before cannabis can be re-regulated.

(If it occurs at all).

Replanning cannabis in the US: God save the Queen

Under current US law, cannabis is more dangerous than cocaine and fentanyl. The latter is Appendix II.

Obviously, these categories do not reflect any underlying reality.

A switch to cannabis in the US means enforcement will move from the DEA to the FDA. While useful idiots may hail the FDA, it’s not obvious that this is a better option.

The pharmaceutical industry owns the FDA. It’s a revolving door of crony capitalists. This joke that the FDA will have an answer “this year” is probably a nod to the 2024 election.

We know the Biden administration is not above this type of politics. (And I use the term “Biden administration” because this is the concerted effort of many cronies. Joe Biden himself is senile and unable to make important decisions.)

Cannabis debt restructuring is a political act. Before the midterm elections, consider Democrats:

If Americans had known about these issues before the midterm elections, the “red wave” that many predicted might have happened.

But reordering cannabis is about “science and evidence.” They certainly don’t want to discourage people from voting for the other team.

But if you believe what the Biden administration says, you probably won’t be convinced anyway. As Mark Twain said, “It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.”
