    This would be so great, not just for people with legal prescriptions, but also for employers. I was close with people in HR in my last job were afraid of being sued either way. They are in legally unprecedented areas. Let someone who uses a legal and illegal drug work? Or refuse them work for their Rx.

    Reminds me of “don’t ask, don’t tell”

      Still slippery even legal. It can stay in the system for a bit so someone working “high” is a factor

      It would solve so many problems though just have it legal and controled

    They have for a long time. I seem to remember the DEA commissioning studies that they would later have to get approval to officially ignore because they didn’t like the outcome, multiple times. They would use highly reputable research centers and then drag their names through the mud. War on drugs is a profit and power generator.

    genuine question: why does this have to take so long? we all know it’s going to be months as the gears grind towards the inevitable conclusion. why can’t they just do the politics, run a hurry up offense, get it done
