What Schedule III Doesn’t Do:
-
It doesn’t legalize cannabis federally
-
It doesn’t allow you to legally possess or consume cannabis under federal law
-
It doesn’t stop federal law enforcement from prosecuting you
-
It doesn’t resolve banking issues for most cannabis businesses
-
It doesn’t expunge the records of the millions arrested for cannabis offenses
-
It doesn’t allow interstate commerce
-
It doesn’t remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act
What Schedule III Does Do:
-
Removes IRS Code 280E, giving massive tax breaks to large cannabis corporations
-
Requires FDA approval for cannabis products (hello, Big Pharma!)
-
Subjects dispensaries and growers to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
-
Creates new federal crimes including selling prescription drugs without a license, misbranding, and illegal distribution
-
Effectively hands the cannabis market to pharmaceutical companies while crushing small operators
I think its silly to expect legal states who were already disregarding federal law and supplanting it with their own state laws are suddenly going to start requiring prescriptions and FDA intevention for the same reason they won’t limit refils the same was schedule 3 demands. No one collecting tax revenue is going to change whats already working. Your entire laundry list disregards that the states themselves are already not following federal law and federal law is the one slowly changing to reflect what states are already doing, not to impose a new order of marijuana laws.
Requires FDA approval for cannabis products (hello, Big Pharma!)
It’s literally a drug and should absolutely require FDA approval. Preferably by one with competent leadership, but either way.
Then anything sold with ethanol should require FDA approval.
Of course it should.
But it’s also very regulated regardless.

Buying off all those dirty hippy boomers with free weed…
/S
Just kidding, the hippies movement was a tiny fraction of a percent of that generation. More of them where spitting on black kids for going to school than dropping acid at Woodstock
Continuing to govern by fiat. Have you even heard of The Legislative Branch of the US Government?
Broken clock.
I initially saw the headlines and thought it was going to be the next WMD.
It’s not heroin or religion, but the masses needs something to keep them sedated. Otherwise they might get ideas above their station.
