Trump moves to ease cannabis restrictions – what does it mean for consumers?
While experts say rescheduling cannabis will likely lower taxes and improve access to investor funds for pot businesses, the drug will still be heavily restricted at the federal level — so not much is changing for consumers. Congress would have to pass new laws or federal agencies would need to issue new regulations to really change how people can access cannabis.
420 FILE – The United States government is likely to end the designation of marijuana as a dangerous narcotic sometime this year, potentially marking one of the biggest federal decisions on the classification of the drug in decades. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined that marijuana is less harmful than, say, opioids and other substances, prompting the Biden administration to announce it would “reschedule” cannabis from a Schedule I—which is what the most dangerous drugs are classified as—to a Schedule III drug, commensurate with anabolic steroids and ketamine.

Tulsi Gabbard is running for Opportunist-in-Chief
But what’s disappointing about her recent Maga makeover is that she’s abandoned a lot of the positive portions of the Sanders agenda she once espoused, policies designed to help working people: higher wages, better health care, and stronger unions (she got a 100 per cent voting score as a congressperson from the AFL-CIO). Instead, she now dismisses all aspects of Bidenomics as “fascism” and plays up the culture wars.
