The reason THC is even an issue is because the law has insistently been an ass for over half a century. The DEA has a complete tautology of Schedule 1 classification when its effects are far less dangerous. Yet it is federally more controlled than cocaine.
The consequences make a huge difference. So a plan to make a million dollars selling sandwiches vs killing people on the street to rifle through their pockets should be treated very differently.
- IMTDb 6y agoThe reason why THC is an issue is...because it's bad for you. At least for 90% of the population. If THC has benefits in a narrow range of situation, doctors should absolutely be able to experiment with it. And the DEA classification should be reviewed under that light. But there is a whooooole range of possible options that sit between "it's the worst substance ever. Anyone consuming it should be put in jail after 3 strikes. No one can even dream of making medical trials with it" and "Meh, it looks relatively harmless and fun, let's distribute that like candies with close to no control"
