Show Notes - Why Rescheduling Marijuana Will Solve Nothing
Description
Episode #87
Today on Legalese we discuss the recent announcement by the Department of Justice that the DEA will be rescheduling marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act from Schedule I to Schedule III.
We discuss why this move is entirely worthless in that it accomplishes none of the goals the Biden Administration say they are passing it to accomplish. We also explore why such moves are meaningless by intent.
Because all of these arguments and debates take place within an acceptable window of dissent to avoid ever having a conversation about the fact that it is immoral for the government to dictate which substances a person is permitted to consume, whether it is alcohol, tobacco, herbal remedies, saturated fat, marijuana, etc. These decisions belong to the individual, not the government.
