Marijuana is less harmful and less prone to abuse than first thought and should be reclassified to reflect that, the Department of Health and Human Services now says.
I’ve noticed this vein of irrational cynicism before. Bad things happen, and therefore bad things will keep happening. I told people for years that it was already too late for Disney to extend copyright yet again; it takes too long to get anything through Congress. This Congress can barely elect a Speaker, but people were still arguing there’d be a last minute extension in the final weeks of 2023.
Point is, cynicism shouldn’t replace clear thinking.
That’s valid, I just don’t know any world other than one manipulated for political gain or profit so I’m solidly in the ‘that would be amazing but I doubt it’ camp. I’d love to be wrong though.
In how many of those election years had the DHHS finally asked the DEA to reclassify…?

Maybe not DHHS, but I remember countless articles about X agency recommending it, and nothing ever changed.
I’m not agreeing with that person, I’m slightly optimistic about this time, but I’m not going to get my hopes up.
