Companies that make cannabis-infused drinks are encouraging people to ditch booze for weed on 4/20.

  • More people are going "California Sober" — no alcohol or hard drugs, just marijuana, thank you, Axios' Jennifer A. Kingson reports.

There are now dozens of THC drinks, with names like Happi, Cantrip, Cann, Boldt and Artet (which calls itself a "cannabis aperitif").

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

US poised to ease restrictions on marijuana in historic shift, but it’ll remain controlled substance

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, The Associated Press has learned, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple effects across the country.

The Biden administration is moving to ease federal restrictions on marijuana — a move that will likely boost the cannabis industry in states where it's legal and may make medical marijuana easier to obtain.

  • Marijuana will still be illegal at the federal level. But it'll be reclassified as a drug with a relatively low risk of abuse.
  • Right now, marijuana is a Schedule I drug — the same risk category as heroin. It'll soon move to Schedule II, on par with some prescription drugs.

💬 "This is going to help to normalize cannabis more than anything that's ever occurred in the U.S. since they started the war on drugs," David Culver, senior vice president at the U.S. Cannabis Council, told The Washington Post.

  • That could be a political winner for Biden, particularly with young people.
  • Advocates hope the federal policy shift will help bolster local efforts to reduce criminal penalties for marijuana possession.

Go deeper.

Marijuana Legalization Opponents Raise Money For Potential Lawsuit Against Federal Rescheduling Move

A day after the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) decision that marijuana will move to the less-restrictive Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, a leading cannabis prohibition group sent an email to supporters asking for money to fuel its fight against the reform.

The Biden administration is moving to reclassify marijuana, recognizing its medical uses and that it has less potential for abuse than other drugs, Axios' April Rubin and Stef Kight report.

  • Zoom in: The DEA move would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin, LSD and ecstasy, to a Schedule III one, per the AP.

Other Schedule III drugs include Tylenol with codeine, ketamine, anabolic steroids and testosterone.

🌿 Marijuana industry gets green light

The Biden administration's move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug is huge news for the budding weed industry, Axios' Emily Peck, Felix Salmon and Dan Primack write.

  • Why it matters: The industry has been held back by the drug's squishy legal status. Shares of Canopy Growth — one of the largest publicly traded cannabis companies — rose 82% yesterday on the news.

💡 How it works: Though dozens of states have legalized or decriminalized marijuana, at the federal level it's classified as Schedule 1 — drugs with high potential for abuse and no medical use.

  • That's made it difficult for the industry to operate across state lines and access banking services.
  • It also means cannabis companies can't deduct business expenses on their federal taxes. The result: Profit margins are low.

What marijuana reclassification means for the United States

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is moving toward reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The Justice Department proposal would recognize the medical uses of cannabis, but wouldn’t legalize it for recreational use.

Still much unknown on how marijuana policies would change in states under Biden plan

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has proposed loosening the illegal status of marijuana at the federal level – but that doesn’t mean the federal government now condones recreational or medicinal use in the many states that have legalized the drug.

Cannabis is about to be ‘re-scheduled’ by feds. What does that mean for FL Amendment 3 prospects?

The Biden administration’s announcement last month — that it plans to reclassify cannabis as a lower-risk substance nationwide — is being embraced as a positive development for advocates working to legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana in Florida. But critics say that decision can’t obscure the concerns that have surfaced in recent years stemming from its high potency.
