The move doesn’t legalize marijuana, but the reclassification would allow the FDA to study it for medical purposes.
and, he’s still a wrong calendar:
He also indicated he would not be open to legalizing cannabis for recreational use. “It’s never safe to use powerful controlled substances in a recreational manner,” he said.

This reminds me of an anti-drug story written on some government website (DEA? ONDCP?) I read years ago about a teenager who was a star athlete and straight-A student but got caught smoking weed and then got expelled and lost a scholarship or some such. I found it quite absurd considering this kid was doing so well “despite” using weed and every single negative aspect they listed was something being imposed by some third party as a form of punishment and had nothing to do with the substance use itself. Their messaging was basically “we’ll ruin your life in order to protect you from yourself” and it makes me sad to think that this shitty ass logic works on so many people.
my medical marijuana doctor told me that jail was so incredibly bad for your health that a mj recommendation was his obligation under the Hippocratic Oath
