Office of Public Affairs | Justice Department Places FDA-Approved Marijuana Products and Products Containing Marijuana Subject to a Qualifying State-issued License in Schedule III, Strengthening Medical Research While Maintaining Strict Federal Controls | United States Department of Justice

Quote:
In accordance with President Trump's December 18, 2025, Executive Order on Increasing Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research, the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) today announced the issuance of an order immediately placing both FDA-approved products containing marijuana and marijuana products regulated by a state medical marijuana license in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, as well as the initiation of an expedited administrative hearing process to consider the broader rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. The new hearing, beginning June 29, 2026, will provide a timely and legally compliant pathway to evaluate broader changes to marijuana's status under federal law. Together, these actions provide immediate and long-term clarity to researchers, patients, and providers alike while still maintaining strict federal controls against illicit drug trafficking.

the bold is also good news.

The more people smoke weed the fewer there are to compete at the highest levels, and a couple of my family members will need all the help they can get

Legalize it but make it only legal to smoke in your own home or weed establishments. That **** smells nasty. Can't get away from the smell when I visit Colorado or New Mexico.

The move from Sched 1 to Sched 3 happened months ago. This is kinda a no-brainer follow up.

Good though, for stuff like geriatric pain management, THC is likely less harmful than opioids.

Probably said as you were drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette, eating a Little Debbie snack and sitting at your computer desk or on your phone on the couch.

You know, all things that are perfectly awesome and super duper healthy and don't cause any issues at all!

I bet you'd be surprised at how many "highest levels" type folks partake now and again.

I'm fine with weed being treated like everything you just listed, I just wish people were honest about the negative issues with weed too just like everyone is with all those other things.

I have two brothers that smoke every single day and tell me with a straight face that it's not addictive

Can't go anywhere in a major city these days without being absolutely overwhelmed by that disgusting smell.

I can't think of a place that's nicer to live in after weed became legal than it was before.

I walk around downtown Houston every day and I rarely smell it. I'm sure places like LA and NY are bad though

Agreed, but what if they just legalize THC and not smoking weed? I'd be ok with that.

That's a brothers thing not a weed thing. They chose to partake, and in their case, there is a greater than 0% probablility that if it wasn't cannabis it'd be something else.

Isn't the THC part of weed what made it illegal?

99% of people know that it isn't some super health serum that cures everything. Smoking anything is bad for you, doesn't matter what it is - that's common sense.

I don't think weed itself is addictive for most people that use it, at least not in the same sense that nicotine or alcohol is through the chemical changes they cause in your body. I think the feeling that weed gives you is addictive though. Euphoric feelings are always addictive. And I'm sure there is some subset of the population that has the genetic makeup that it does become addictive, nothing is universal across the board after all.

They kind of cleaned up Vegas.
But, NorCal and Reno are still bad.
And of course, nobody walks in LA.

Marijuana derivatives such as CBD oil have shown promise helping relieve chronic arthritis pain:
Quote:
Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, prompting a continuous search for safer, effective pain management solutions. One therapy gaining popularity is CBD oil. Does it help?
What is CBD oil?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of over 400 chemical compounds found in the cannabis (marijuana) plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, also found in cannabis), CBD doesn't produce a high. CBD oil is typically extracted from hemp, a variety of cannabis with low THC levels. The extracted CBD is then diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut or hemp seed oil, creating CBD oil.
CBD oil may be used in many different forms. It's available in capsules that can be taken by mouth; as tinctures and sprays that are placed under the tongue; and in oils, lotions, and creams that are applied to the skin. CBD oil can even be vaped with an e-cigarette.
Can CBD oil help manage chronic pain?
CBD's potential to alleviate chronic pain may be attributed in part to its anti-inflammatory properties, though it interacts with dozens of different receptors in our bodies. It is believed to modulate the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes, including pain sensation, mood, and immune response. By influencing the ECS, CBD may offer a means of alleviating pain and inflammation (which are often two sides of the same coin). Additionally, CBD may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep, both of which can indirectly contribute to pain relief.

Rules on where you should be able to or not be able to smoke should be handled by municipalities. But i'd much rather smell a little weed in the air than all the exhaust from your giant redneck trucks.

But why so many people, especially conservatives, are so adamant about telling others what they can or can't do in their own homes, is just mind-boggling. You don't want to smoke? Fine, then don't. You think all smokers are losers and offer nothing to society? Fine, no one cares about your delusions.

Every anecdote you nanny-state lovers keep throwing out can be contradicted with anecdotes from the other side. It's stupid and reeks of you simply feeding into your delusions and brainwashing.

Are we all better off if we NEVER consume THC? Sure. The same can be said for nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, prescription drugs, and any myriad of the **** Americans eat or activities we participate in, every day. The fact is the government tells us we can't simply grow a natural plant, pick the flower, grind it up, and smoke it, while everyone else is free to screw their lives up with all this "legal" bull***** That's insane.
