Something Dems need to talk up

No shit. The reddest state in the union just legalized medical marijuana 57-43.

Hey Republican dumbasses, get the **** on board!

 

[trapped_in_tx]

I posted elsewhere that I thought Trump might wait to make a move to keep the Dems off balance but with this, he might have missed his opportunity.

This might be the smartest thing the Dems have done in a while. If Trump moves quickly he can take the air out of Schumer's sails but he doesn't have much time.

The opposing position is a losing one, regardless whether you are against legalization, and I'm not a fan of legalization.

I agree, and Trump needs to get on board...tell Sessions to stand down...and not worry about trying to “improve” the deal or get all the credit.

We can have a nice thing here if these two can tap down their egos for once.

If Trump has no issue doing this:

He's probably going to try to grab the reins from ol' Chucky.

You don’t want legal marijuana, do you?

Just this once, he can play nice...right?

Maybe he will try to upstage Shumie by calling for cocaine and heroin to be made legal too.

I know that you clearly know the difference between should and would on this one.

You don't really think there is much chance that he plays nice, do you? That's contrary to almost everything he has said and done the last two years and change.

Yes, my tongue is firmly embedded in my cheek as I type these.

If Trump legalizes by Executive Order, no one will remember Schumer's move.

Except he can’t do that.

And before you “Obama” me, that’s not what he did.

Biff could still get ahead of it and Schumer though....

He can change its classification from being a tier 1 drug, correct? And in doing so, completely change its legal status without going through congress. I presume that classification is done by the executive branch.

 

[BvillePoker]

Two federal agencies, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), determine which substances are added to or removed from the various schedules, although the statute passed by Congress created the initial listing.

Nope. Statute defines it as a class 1. Not just regulation. Also, you can’t just change a classification done by administrative code/regulation. There are laws about how you alter an administrative code. It’s called the administrative procedures act. What he could do IF it was only a regulation and not also in statute, would be to direct the executive agency issuing the regulation to begin the process to amend/rescind it.

Which specifically lists MJ as a schedule one by statute.

I’m not sure if the statute gives those agencies the authority to change the schedule for drugs that are scheduled by law. It may. I haven’t read it in a while.

Thanks. I knew I wasn't sure on the facts and was hoping for clarity on how schedule classifications are done/maintained.

Let's just watch and see if the dominant republican control of government results in LESS control over the states on this issue.

I'll go out on a limb and say... "Are you nuts? Conservatives only relax authoritarian control if a core constituency can profit from it." Once enough deep pockets/campaign contributors get behind the feds getting out of pot control, you'll see the GOP get behind it.

Waiting on my weed brownies.

Will be a more tolerant poster if they’d speed this shit up already!
