http://www.fool.com/investing/2016/06/25/arguably-the-most-important-marijuana-decision-eve.aspx?source=yahoo-2&utm_campaign=article&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=yahoo-2&yptr=yahoo
This marijuana decision could be a game-changer Sometime within the next couple of weeks, the U.S DEA is expected to rule on whether or not it will reschedule marijuana away from its current schedule 1 classification. If the regulatory agency were to reclassify marijuana as anything other than a schedule 1 substance, then medical marijuana would immediately become legal throughout the U.S., thus opening the door for medical marijuana businesses to prosper. It would also remove those aforementioned disadvantages holding the industry back.
I checked NORML for any information on this but came up empty. Interesting if anyone knows more please share with the group, and your thoughts if this could happen.

thc is one of those drugs that enters your body and leaves it, it doesn't really harm anything at most you feel groggy or whatever. Much more hazardous things like pepsi or prescription drugs to worry about.

Recent studies have proven unequivocally that it has beneficial medical qualities. So at least in my mind it could be changed schedule wise? We'll have to wait and see..

A lot of drugs that are scheduled 1 have medical benefits most are banned because they expand consciousness and others because they are simply too addicting. The government just uses that excuse as a ploy.

''If''
What the hell, it's been proven for years that cannabis has medicinal benefits and that it's only minimally harmful when used recreationally. Why hasn't it been reclassified already?

hope they do the right thing, get the ball rolling
-------------------- I give you the choice of 2 pills.
With each containing one of the following: Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk? Didn't think so. This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

It's kind of odd, how in this democratic republic, we need a police agency to change its mind on a certain drug, in order for Doctors to prescribe it to patients. Why are police in control of what's illegal or not? Isn't that for legislators to decide?

Theres actually a logic behind making cannabis schedule 2 because that would enable doctors to prescribe it and everything thats prescribed would have to be FDA approved (hello big pharma). This would also overwrite all state level medicinal cannabis laws and make them void.
it would hurt many people who use cannabis to treat their illnesses

So you're saying that will happen? That just threw me for a loop. I don't understand why new scheduling would overturn for lack of a better word state law??
I understand the implications for pharmaceutical companies but can't make the connection between that and state law.

It's highly unlikely MJ would be regulated as a drug with medical benefits. It doesn't meet that definition.
