    Don’t get fooled. The only reason he wants this is so that the big pharma can start selling you weed instead of local growers.

      Well, I mean, the article points out that we’re not actually doing anything, so I’m not sure practically how that gets us to Big Pharma growing cannabis.

        In addition to it not actually being rescheduled the big pharma companies can easily just invest or buy the “local” growers

        In my state all the licensed weed growers are well established and basically have a cartel monopoly so I dunno what “local” there is to protect with this stuff anyway

          Some states’ legalization enshrined the right of private citizens to grow, which imo is the only real legalization.

            Being able to grow is a separate thing from if national or state pharma sells you the weed
