Although it could take months, at least this ridiculous, and racist, restriction may go away. The recommendation seems to be that pot will be classified as Schedule III. Obviously the very needed medial research might be able to go into high gear. And the monetary value of taxes might help many a local government as it is a “booming industry.” Although this is only the first step in fixing the the “federal-state conflict”, at least “Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to submit a draft rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget as soon as Tuesday…” It would have been super cute had this happened on 4/20. But I will still be happy if this comes to fruition. (Pun intended) And younger voters might be influenced if the real decision happens in time.
