      Rescheduled from 1 -> 3. Not sure I understand the significance of this change other than to look like doing something without legalizing it.

      How did Biden kick off the process that was designed to take more than 4 years? I actually didn’t know anything other than the push to reschedule.

        The big win from schedule 3 is ability for American researchers to study it legally and easily, on-shore. Obviously it doesn’t belong in the list with those other schedule 3s (ketamine and suboxone), but it is gonna be baby steps towards legalization so long as the powerful alcohol and private prison lobbies exist.

          My fiancé studies cannabis in Canada, and making it legal didn’t really make it easier to study. Hopefully FDA makes it less of a nightmare than health canada did.
