      Probably not yet…biggest advantage of moving from Sch 1 to Sch 3 is that it means federal research grants/money can be used now to determine what the actual medicinal uses.

        Nice. So we’ll publicly fund the research and the drug companies get a bunch of new medicines and don’t have to pay for the rights.

      No. It is still a controlled substance. They have merely lowered it’s classification rather than DE-classifying it entirely, which is what they should have done.
