Doesn't matter how much people scream and cry, the feds are not going to legalize recreational use overnight
A step in the right direction is better than standing still.
To get to the point its available recreationally we first need the universities and government agencies to study it.
To study the plant it needs to be rescheduled, period.
I'll take schedule 2 over 1 all day, at least now it can be studied.
I've been behind the wall, I get it, I'm tired of being paranoid and worried about my futures freedom, but any progress at the fed level is welcome at this point.
And if the wave of state level legalization picks up it just serves to push the feds even harder towards our ultimate goal.

Whatever you say BOSS
What's your idea?
What's your idea?
Oh, please. The DEA functions under DoJ enforcement guidelines. They're also constrained by congressional action forbidding use of funds against legit suppliers in MMJ states.
It just looks trickier than it is, if that's the way you want to see it.
Yes all correct. What your missing is thatb once it is schedule 2 there is no such thing as a legit supplier in MMj state. Its an FDA regulated drug and they are all non compliant.

and you think that is a real possibility? lol
What?
We have dispensaries because pharmacies can't touch it due to schedule 1 status. We have recommendations not prescriptions because its a schedule 1 drug. Once its schedule 2 you will have "prescription " with a daily dose. And it may even be covered by your insurance. You will pick it up at an FDA licensed Pharmacy. It will be just like every other schedule 2 substance. Why would they move it to schedule 2 and treat it different than any other schedule 2 substance?
The federal penalty for the manufacture, sale or distribution of small amounts of Schedule I and II drugs, for the first offense, is from five to 40 years imprisonment and/or not more than a two million dollar fine for an individual (where death or serious injury occurs, not less than 20 years imprisonment and not more than life imprisonment); for a second offense, not less than 10 years imprisonment and not more than life and/or a fine of not less than four million dollars for an individual (where death or serious injury occurs, not less than life imprisonment).
Penalties are doubled in many cases for the manufacture, sale or distribution of larger amounts of Schedule I and II drugs. The federal penalty for the manufacture, distribution or sale of Schedule III, IV and V drugs of any quantity is: Schedule III Drug: not more than five years imprisonment and/or a $250,000.00 fine for a first offense; penalty is doubled for a second offense. Schedule IV Drug: not more than three years imprisonment and/or a $250,000.00 fine for a first offense; penalty is doubled for a second offense. Schedule V Drug: not more than one year imprisonment and/or a $100,000.00 fine; penalty is doubled for a second offense.

I don't believe that. I think you are making hysterical assumptions.
In fact I don't believe it will affect recreational one bit.
I hope you are wrong but can't see any way realistically that this could happen like you outline.
Let me know when the government weed plantations gear up for production
Federal law provides separate penalties for the manufacture, sale or distribution of marijuana, hashish, or their derivatives. Penalties vary according to the quantity involved, the existence of a prior offense, and whether death or serious injury results. For a first offense involving small amounts (less than 50 kilograms of marijuana; less than 10 kilograms of hashish), the penalty includes not more than five years imprisonment and/or a $250,000.00 fine for an individual. Penalties are doubled for second offenses. For larger quantities (between 50-100 kilograms marijuana; between 10-100 kilograms hashish), the penalty includes not more than 20 years imprisonment and/or a fine of one million dollars. Penalties are increased for second offenses. Where death or serious injury results, penalties are increased to include not less than 20 years imprisonment and not more than life for a first-time offender; not less than life for a second-time offender.
