    Found this well-made comment and went right ahead recommented it.

    I support the rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III for the purposes of increasing the accessibility for studies, to better understand what cannabis is and is not effective at treating, and what the actual health risks might be. That said, I think it should absolutely be a step toward declassification and regulation in the adult market. While cannabis can and should be used as medicine, it is also a longstanding tradition in adult use for recreation, and when used recreationally, can improve peoples’ wellbeing with very minimal health risk (known, observed). As a substance used similarly as alcohol but proven to be far safer, there should be a clear pathway to legalization and de-scheduling as part of this initiative.
