Agree one hundred percent ,change the classification. He himslelf
feel it holds no more harmful the alcohol or tobacco.
But I’ll go a step further I myself have been smoking since I was 11 it cost me my education.But here was the problem #1 it was the 70s and #2 it was a lot easyer to get weed then it was alcohol. To this day there are more 14 to 18 year olds who have more access to source’s to get it then me and I,m 56.And as far as which in my life time and life’s experience you will never stop an adult from recreational use if that’s up to the just like that beer some people seem to injoy.P.S.haven’t to many people smoke a couple joints and start a fight that I’ve seen you know wife ,kids, and friends. But alcohol that’s another matter!It needs to be regulated like alcohol and I don’t mean 18 years old but 21!
There are millions over 21 who will never quite but in secret because the can loose everything in some states your job,your home,your kids everything. P.S.(again) I’d rather hang out with a stoner then a drunk. Iegalize it make it harder for kids to get it ,like I said if you want some pot now go ask a 15 year old he can help you easyer then an adult their too afraid of what it can cost them.P.S.( again) I always worked supported my own supply.Raised 5 kids all working some married. 6 grandchildren. My wife who is disabled PTSD,depression, and essential temors a form of Parkinsons diesease. CBDs work for Tremors.but not the others,only THC forms work for the others.And that’s my believe and opinion! Signed Snakeman

Also consider as a Medical marijuana card holder and concealed weapons permit holder, I can be sentenced to a mandatory 5 yrs. for carrying a weapon while committing a felony under federal law, while at the same time being completely legal in Oregon.

First off, thanks for the comment! I think that legislation is headed in a positive direction overall. Its just unfortunate that it’s going to take some time given all the red tape you have to go through. However, if we look at how far the industry has progressed over the last 10-15 years I think there is a lot to be proud of. While many states have passed(or failed) terrible legislation the first time around, bottom line is at least it is paving the way for amendments and future consideration where there was no road before. My hope is that, with positive examples like being laid out by progressive states like Colorado, eventually the case will be so strong that those in power won’t have a choice. We the people can take it out of their hands by continuing to pursue positive paths within the industry. It will just take a lot longer than it perhaps should.

The President needs to address this issue immediately. Reschedule cannabis to class 3. This will for sure piss-off right wing republicans but they deserve it for bucking him on every issue. A republican president would be a disaster for cannabis legalization but for that matter I don’t know if Hillary Clinton can be trusted to perform the will of the majority on this issue. If Obama wants more support from people he needs to address this issue now. At least he would be respected for holding his ground!
