If small-town local cops will arrest for a Schedule 4 federally-controlled substance like Viagra®, they’ll arrest for a more-restrictive Schedule 3 federally-controlled substance like Cannabis (Marijuana, aka drug cannabis).
Especially Cannabis, with Schedule 3 it gives local cops a way to bypass state and local laws legalizing and regulating it, bypassing the Tenth Amendment which currently protects them from the feds. Give an inch, they’ll take a mile. It’ll be like 1984 all over again, literally not the book.
DEA even recently resurrected Reagan’s mantra “Just Say No” with “Just Think Twice” targeting teens. Better would be “just think, k?” but propagandists tend to be older than their target demo.
Rescheduling is for Big Pharma, descheduling is for us.
Just. Fckn. Legalize.
