Why is cannabis still in Schedule I?
One reason is the pharmaceutical industry. A...
The New testing regulations are going to drive small outdoor specialized cultivators out of business. Gone will be the days when a cultivator can grow 15 strains with 35 to 45 harvest batches. Testing costs are going to explode because the a lab employee and a videographer will have to...
If the legal cannabis industry is to have a chance, there will have to be a serious crackdown on illegal cannabis operations. Legal cannabis operations will have a staggering disadvantage to illegal growers due to the costs of complying with regulations. Legal growers will incur costs for...
I would like someone with access to Mr Sessions to ask him publically and in front of the press to justify why cannabis is listed as a schedule I narcotic. ask him to provide peer reviewed scientific evidence justified that classification.

California already has pissed off the feds when Governor Brown declared the whole state a sanctuary state. Even if medical cannabis is protected as it has been in the past by amendments in the spending bills, will good old boy Jeff Sessions come into California hard and fast against recreational...
The regulations will be just about the same for recreational and adult use cannabis in 2018. Trying to jump through all the hoops in the new regulations is going to be quite a chore. For example if you grow outdoors you have to justify your water source and use with the California Water Control...

If the Republicans would get behind the declassification of cannabis, the Democrats would never win another election.

This has been the problem I mentioned earlier. Interest is miles wide but only an inch deep.
It will take enough people to actually get involved in circulating petitions, and pressuring Congress with letters and phone calls to really accomplish something.
