Does dropping weed to schedule three allow export from legal states to other legal states? I know you can actually do interstate commerce with other schedule three drugs like ketamine so o would think so, but maybe there�s other legislation that would prevent that?

The other thing is wouldn�t this relieve the banking pressure on marijuana businesses in legal weed states?

Again maybe there�s other federal legislation or regulations so the answer is no, but if it�s just schedule three now then I would think the answer is yes

So basically if I�m right - and I might be wrong as I mentioned above - then the real beneficiaries and pretty much the only beneficiaries of this change would be marijuana businesses

I don't think it would do even that. It's still a controlled substance. I'm sure there's rules a regulations about how you're supposed to handle schedule 3 substances, and I doubt any dispensary is gonna meet that requirement. You still need a prescription for schedule 3 stuff afaik.

All rescheduling does is open a path to legalization within the boundaries of medical use under doctor supervision.

also by the time the rule is actually published in the federal register it will be well within the period that will let the next congress undo it through the CRA:

So because the Biden-Harris Administration has dragged their feet on this for so long. they've not only made it trivial for it to get undone if Biden loses, but if it does get undone, the DEA will never be able to reschedule weed again without an act of Congress.

the purpose of a system is what it does

Yeah it�s still scheduled but with a schedule iii you can legally produce it and sell it across state lines, which you can�t do in pretty much any circumstance with a schedule I. Think ketamine or whatever. It�s clearly handled differently. That�s why this strikes me as obviously not a move towards legalization and more of a favor to business interests that would like to get more involved in moving product across border between legal states. But again I�m really not familiar enough with the rules to know for sure, but that strikes me as the only meaningful thing that Biden might listen to (people in industry that want to make bags of money)

That makes sense to me. Again I�m not really up on the ins and outs of this and just trying to figure what if anything it might do

Got it. So maybe some relief in businesses that are still operating under the medical dispensary kabuki but nothing beyond that?

Yeah this is the other thing I was curious if this would do, which isn�t nothing at all but it�s pretty limited in who it helps and also opens the door to more institutional money coming in

Which honestly has become the yardstick I measure these little bullshit quarter measures that Biden likes to float around - who is going to make money off of this and does it really do anything else?

Yea so things are a bit of a mess, all scandals and shootings and bigots. And one bigot in particular standing thisclose to the American presidency. If we�re calling spades spades, let�s just be direct: It�s a complete shitshow. It�s enough to make you want to hide inside your house until it seems safer. Because a lot of days lately it doesn�t feel all that safe. But while you�re cowering in there, watching the wheels come off live on CNN � again � open a window. Maybe you hear a little bird outside, warbling from a tree in the sun, like just being there on that branch, breeze rustling through her feathers, is the best thing in the world, like nothing is more perfect than that moment. And she takes off with all the optimism of dawn. So, maybe later she�s flying at the back of the flock and gets poo poo in her eye. But does she let that stop her from taking flight? Hell no, because maybe today�s the day she�ll soar ahead of the rest and lead them someplace amazing, where the sun is always shining and the breeze of hope always rustles. A place beyond shitshows. Be the bird, people. You got to. There�s no other way.

Schedule 3 lets you pay a doctor $500 for a zoom call to get a medical card, and lets the cops get to keep circumventing the 4th by "smelling the odor" and jailing people for not having $500 to pay a doctor over zoom.

unless the feds make that clear to the banks, not even that no. No mainline bank is going to risk getting its leadership put in actual prison for a few new customers. especially customers that would require a lot of compliance work to onboard and maintain.

White House considers welcoming some Palestinians from war-torn Gaza as refugees

White House considers Gazan refugee effort
White House considers bringing some Palestinians to U.S. as refugees 00:24

The Biden administration is considering bringing certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees, a move that would offer a permanent safe haven to some of those fleeing war-torn Gaza, according to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS News.

In recent weeks, the documents show, senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.

One of those proposals involves using the decades-old United States Refugee Admissions Program to welcome Palestinians with U.S. ties who have managed to escape Gaza and enter neighboring Egypt, according to the inter-agency planning documents.

Top U.S. officials have also discussed getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, the documents show. The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.

Those who pass a series of eligibility, medical and security screenings would qualify to fly to the U.S. with refugee status, which offers beneficiaries permanent residency, resettlement benefits like housing assistance and a path to American citizenship.

While the eligible population is expected to be relatively small, the plans being discussed by U.S. officials could offer a lifeline to some Palestinians fleeing the Israel-Hamas war, which local public health authorities say has claimed the lives of more than 34,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians in Gaza.

The Israeli government launched a military offensive and aerial bombardment of Gaza after Hamas staged an unprecedented attack across Israel on Oct. 7, killing roughly 1,200 people, most of them civilians. Hamas militants also abducted more than 200 people, many of whom continue to be in captivity.

CBS News has reached out to the White House, Department of Homeland Security and State Department for comment.

The proposals to resettle certain Palestinians as refugees would mark a shift in longstanding U.S. government policy and practice. Since its inception in 1980, the U.S. refugee program has not resettled Palestinians in large numbers.

Over the past decade, the U.S. has resettled more than 400,000 refugees fleeing violence and war across the globe. Fewer than 600 were Palestinian. In fiscal year 2023, the U.S. welcomed 56 Palestinian refugees, or 0.09% of the more than 60,000 refugees resettled during those 12 months, State Department statistics show.

While many Democrats would likely support the move, admitting Palestinians as refugees could spur even more political challenges for the Biden administration related to the Israel-Hamas war. The conflict has already exposed rifts within the Democratic Party, triggered massive protests on college campuses and divided communities across America.

To qualify to enter the U.S. as a refugee, applicants have to prove they are fleeing persecution based on certain factors, such as their nationality, religion or political views. While some Palestinians could say they are fleeing repression by Hamas, others could identify the military and government of Israel, a top U.S. ally and recipient of American aid, as a persecutor.

The resettlement of Palestinian refugees, even if small in scale, could also garner criticism from Republicans, who have sought to make concerns about immigration and illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border defining issues in November's elections.

Soon after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas and the start of Israel's offensive in Gaza, leading Republicans, including presidential candidates, said the U.S. should not welcome Palestinian refugees, claiming that they are antisemitic and potential national security risks.

In recent years, the Biden administration has dramatically increased refugee resettlement, which was slashed to record lows by former President Donald Trump. U.S. officials have set a goal of admitting up to 125,000 refugees in fiscal year 2024, which ends at the end of September.
