Federal Govt. Seeks to Downgrade Marijuana’s Classification

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Federal Govt. Seeks to Downgrade Marijuana’s Classification

The federal government is considering a big change for marijuana, by declaring it a far less dangerous drug. The move would be an enormous economic boost for the people who legally sell the drug because the reclassification would allow them to deduct business expenses from their federal income taxes and expand their reach.

On December 2, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency will hear testimony on whether to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule One drug to a Schedule Three drug.

Schedule One drugs include heroin, ecstasy, LSD, and currently marijuana. A downgrade to Schedule Three would put it alongside anabolic steroids, ketamine, and Tylenol with codeine.

Marijuana Legalization Will Kill Puppies! According To DEA Head

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Marijuana Legalization Will Kill Puppies! According To DEA Head

“Michele Leonhart, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, has a message for those considering legalizing marijuana: Please, think of Fido.

Testifying on the DEA budget during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Leonhart said she expected a number of things to happen after Washington and Colorado were allowed to go forward with the legalization of marijuana last year. What she didn’t anticipate was the impact on man’s best friend.

“There was just an article last week, and it was on pets. It was about the unanticipated or unexpected consequences of this, and how veterinarians now are seeing dogs come in, their pets come in, and being treated because they’ve been exposed to marijuana,” Leonhart said.”
