Slightly higher times: Biden administration moves to loosen weed restrictions
politico.com
The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services is recommending that the Drug Enforcement Agency significantly loosen federal restrictions on marijuana but stopped short of advising that it should be entirely removed from the Controlled Substances Act.
The health agency wants the drug moved from Schedule I to Schedule III under the CSA, potentially the biggest change in federal drug policy in decades.
HHS Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine wrote in a Tuesday letter to the DEA, first reported by Bloomberg News, that the recommendation was based on a review conducted by the Food and Drug Administration.

I'm glad they are finally doing something about climate anxiety.
Here I was worried about the collapse of the jet steam and this nice distraction came along.
It'll definitely help the anxiety part, but probably not the climate part unless it creates a bunch more hippies who actually want to do something about it.
