POLITICSGOP Congressman Files Marijuana Rescheduling Bill Amid Ongoing Biden Administration Review

[EYESORE 9001]

Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) introduced the proposal on Friday. This is the third session in a row that he’s pushed for the modest reform, titled the “Marijuana 1-to-3 Act.”

The two-page bill states that “the Attorney General of the United States shall, by order not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this section, transfer marijuana…from schedule I of such Act to schedule III of such Act.”

Advocates are strongly pushing for removing cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) altogether, but the congressman has argued that rescheduling could be an interim move to promote research into the plant and its components.

“As marijuana is legalized for medical and recreational use across the United States, it is important that we study the effects of the substance and the potential impacts it can have on various populations,” he said in 2019. “By rescheduling marijuana from a schedule I controlled substance to a schedule III controlled substance, the opportunities for research and study are drastically expanded.”

1. Anything but legal

Schedule 3 still leaves state regulated medical and recreational businesses in legal limbo, and worse could end up restricting marijuana to pharmaceutical products.

It is really simple: end prohibition at the federal level. Let the states regulate it as they choose, as we do with alcohol.

2. So delay making marijuana legal federally.

This is the guys first priority after falling off a ladder. And then the GOP will complain about research funding for "woke" science.
