Basically the FDA is saying, "It isn't legal unless we approve it somehow."

And so we, as a reputedly free people, must ask the government for permission. It is sad to see freedom erode and to see the citizenry so willing to accept, even encourage, the erosion.

Well, the fact that they want us to ask permission doesn't necessarily mean we'll comply. See my sig.

Sad to see them have such a bad attitude towards CBD

The FDA has no real data on usage....Because....Study of Marijuana has been prohibited for decades.

Schedule 1 is a black hole.
Thanks DEA.

Schedule I drugs are those that have the following characteristic according to the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA):

• The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
• The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical treatment use in the U.S.
• It has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.

According to federal law, no prescriptions may be written for Schedule I substances, and they are not readily available for clinical use. (Study or research use is prohibited)

Cheers

Absolutely.

Thanks DEA.

Are you sure it's the DEA's fault? Wasn't MJ included in the initial list of scheduled substances in the Controlled Substances Act of 1970? I believe that makes it extraordinarily difficult to re- or de-schedule without another Act of Congress.
