For all of you who hate Republicans!

the only reason this is important is because the house is republican controlled and they never consider democratic proposals. Just because one proposed it doesn't mean the republican majority in the house will back this bill.

BTW, aren't broken clocks right twice a day?

I posted this as a laugh, I'm not political either way. This bill will probably not pass however I'm more or less pointing out as it has been stated so many times on this forum that Pub's hate weed, just saying

If Republicans actually stuck to their mantra of less/smaller government, they'd all support something like this. Unfortunately most of them are hypocrites (as are most politicians of any stripe) and they only support "small govt" when it suits their selfish interests. There's no campaign money in supporting weed. When that changes they will come around

There is no need for congress to force the reschedule of any narcotic through political action, that is the bureaucratic/administrative responsibility of the Attorney General as clearly laid out in the law being abused. Under Title 21, Chapter 13 it is the AG's responsibility to initiate a request to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a medical and scientific study of Marijuana and Schedule I. Once that study confirms the obvious absurdity, the AG has the authority and responsibility per this same law to remove marijuana from the Schedule I list of which it does not belong.

The following findings are required for drugs to be placed in schedule I:

1. The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
2. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
3. There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

THIS!!!!!!!

Making cannabis a schedule 2 is not the answer, but removing it from schedule 1 is...

They are far from being the same thing, cannabis should not be schedule 2 either. It should be unscheduled, period!

It never occurred to me that all this legislation floating around specifically seeks to force the change from Schedule I to II, not simply remove it as laid out in the law. Very interesting point brother :bigjoint: I do not see alcohol or cigarettes listed as Schedule II substances ...

This is the list of Schedule II drugs as defined by the United States Controlled Substances Act.[1] The following findings are required for drugs to be placed in this schedule:[2]

  1. The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
  2. The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.
  3. Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.

anyone who has been former lr current military and did tours in the middle east is who should be in office. They see first hand how things are really run beyond what the media and politicians say. They are the ones who get fucked the most by our govt. and society. The come off as some of the most intelligent people I have ever met. I'm not in the military. But I have family that is. They are being redeployed after being back for only 2 months..... The military lives in 3rd world accomidations when on tour.... They even agree to do away with the party system.. Democrats and Republicans are not even what they used to be when Kennedy was in office..... We need to get all the baby boomers out of office to make real change. Or another civil war.

There is something truly wrong with our "leadership" (Barack Obama, John Boehner (8weeks), Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell) becoming so rich, powerful and famous "serving their country" without actually ever serving their country. These people not only know nothing about being a soldier that they all claim to support, they know nothing about living in poverty of which they constantly speak of out the other side of their mouths.
