Marijuana has a lower potential for abuse than other drugs that are subjected to the same restrictions, with scientific support for its use as a medical treatment, researchers from the US Food and Drug Administration say in documents supporting its reclassification as a Schedule III substance.
Marijuana is currently classified as Schedule I, reserved for the most dangerous controlled substances, including heroin and LSD. In 2022, President Joe Biden asked US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and the attorney general to begin the administrative process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law. HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Rachel Levine wrote a letter to the Drug Enforcement Administration in August in which she supported the reclassification to Schedule III, a list that includes “drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence” such as ketamine, testosterone and Tylenol with codeine.

No, my question was based on what the person I was responding to said before you jumped in with your inanity. Try to keep up.
Then don’t expect me to answer on another’s behalf. If you’ll carefully read my comment, you’ll notice that at no point did I say Biden was going to do anything nor that I expected him to.
Just pointed out that he said he’d look into it, and noted the centrist tendency to interpret stated intentions as accomplishments, regardless of how little is actually done.
Then don’t reply to someone who’s asking a question. Especially when you have nothing to actually contribute to the conversation.
There’s a saying about how it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
You should have stayed silent because there is certainly no doubt about your foolishness now.
Don’t aggressively ask questions of someone and expect no reply. If you want to interrogate me about another person’s opinions, I’m within my rights to point out that you’re being unreasonable.
Your attempts to gaslight me into accepting campaign bullshit as accomplished fact have failed.
