Federal employment and marijuana Schedule III drug

[Anonymous]

Does it change anything for hiring, clearances, drug testing etc if marijuana is going to be a schedule III drug? There is still a lot of work done after the EO.

I dunno. But, I'd just like to congratulate drugs on winning the War on Drugs. Well done, drugs!

This just opens up a possibility for rescheduling for research purposes. It’s still illegal and won’t change anything in hiring or continuing employment processes.

Doesn’t change anything, still illegal.

More research is a good thing. So many states rushed to decriminalize that public health effects were glossed over.

It was more important to show how cool they were. So so cool.

But Feds are only expected to test for schedule I drugs and if this is not in that category then are they supposed to still look for it?

It would be nice if Feds were allowed to use it if prescribed for medical use.

It really doesn't change anything. Marijuana is still illegal under the Controlled Substances Act and rescheduling doesn't change that. The recent CR tightened the definition of cannabis from the rollback in the 2018 Farm Bill which had allowed certain hemp-derived cannabis.

Rescheduling doesn't change that status.

Exactly what public health effects? It's not like marijuana hasn't been studied extensively. $10 says you are one of those insufferable people who flips out because they don't like the smell and are trying to hide behind "health" because you are somehow incapable of not making a crisis out of a few fleeting seconds of a slightly unpleasant odor.

No.

State Highway Patrol will be allowed to smoke weed before federal employees or military will be able to partake. Don't get your hopes up.

DP here. This isn’t accurate. Its legal status has prevented research. One area that should be studied more closely is its role in strokes and heart attacks.
