They stay there. It was a crime when they were convicted. A stupid crime, but still a crime.
I'm just hoping this change can make legalization a non-issue for the upcoming New Hampshire state-level elections
Distribution will remain a crime, and after the October 6, 2022 proclamation, nobody is in federal prison for simple weed possession.

Is this satire? I seriously can't tell.
Damn imagine concerning yourself so much with others choices
I find people who shunned it and judged people when it was illegal are now the biggest habitual users. For every guy “smoking a joint” there’s 3 more on edibles vapes or teas
I’ve said it before I know brilliant stoners and complete idiots, and I can say the same with my sober encounters..
If you only knew how much swinging youd do.
Besides the new rage with the self medication crowd is magic mushroom micro dosing, a favorite of cops and fire fighters I’m told cause it won’t show up on a drug test

If it's no longer against the law though....
They shouldn't be. The law is about public safety and security, it's not about compliance. Stupid laws should be broken. Nobody benefits by keeping them in jail. Nobody. It costs us money as taxpayers, it obviously costs the people in jail their freedom, etc. There's zero legitimate reason for keeping someone in jail for something that is not a crime, EVEN IF IT WAS A CRIME when they did it.
This is only true for federal convictions. Nothing about state convictions.
The executive branch likely cannot remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act entirely, thus the move to Schedule III leaving it as a controlled substance -- for THC to be "no longer against the law" almost certainly requires a legislative change.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.

That was due to being on Schedule I, should change sometime after the move to Schedule III?
Many that were in prison here in Missouri for just using pot have been released when recreational pot was “legalized” about two years ago. I don’t know if their record has been expunged but I think it has been.
But once it is a schedule III, they can write those prescriptions.
That said, it may be a while. Shifting to Schedule III will enable pharma and universities to start doing legitimate research. Prescriptions still may not come around until there is more medical research.

Thousands of professional scientists would disagree. LOL
Neither can I.

1. It saddens me to realize that people need to be on da-Reefah 24/7. What they need is a good smack upside the head. I think the same thing of the dolts getting a Fru-Fru coffee at Dunkies every morning with extra-extra whipped cream. I think, "Damn. My future health insurance premiums are gonna go through the roof." Both the Fru-Fru and the Ree-Ree are OCCASIONAL USE items. You've got a screw loose if you are taking them on the regular. Period. (Forgive me, I don't get affected much by sugar, caffeine or other substances. I'm a cheap date, though. LOL I can probably count the # of alcoholic beverages I have per year not b/c I don't like being buzzed but it just isn't worth the calories they cost me.)
2. I don't want to smell it. You don't want to smell it. No one but a pot head wants to smell it. Once you've gone beyond "my body my choice my stupidity" it's ceased to become a just-you issue. Mind you, if you want to toke up in your back yard and your back yard fronts my back yard, I'm not going to do a thing about it. A man's land is his castle. But driving down Main St so everyone has to smell it? Baseball bats. Again, wooden ones. I'm not unreasonable. LOL

Regarding #1. Why are you so concerned with what other people do with their bodies. Were you just as concerned with people around you getting vaxxed? If not, you’re lacking intellectual consistency. Maybe just worry about yourself and what you’re putting into your body? Why do you care what a stranger eats, smokes, takes for medicine, drinks, has for tattoos or piercings?Thousands of professional scientists would disagree. LOL

Regarding #2. Is this more satire? You honestly care at all about smelling weed in public? Do you take the same hard stance on cigarettes? You seem super sensitive honestly.
Buddy you can’t smell the edibles and you can hardly tell if a vape is the evil weeds anymoreThousands of professional scientists would disagree. LOL

Like I said your arms would be jello from swinging cause you don’t have a clue how many people are stoned around you every day
Now I do agree with you on smoking in public, I personally don’t mind the smell but I don’t need my kids to smell it or be exposed to it on the regular and I’m sure there’s people with legit reactions to it.
Maybe it’s dealing with people like you every day people find the need to partake
They should just legalize them all. If someone wants to smoke pot or bang heroine , so be it, they can deal with the consequences. Would be good if they had a better roadside test for some of the drugs

We get it, you have a high and tight and yell at all those long haired hippies. But you’re ignoring that it can’t be called “medicine” while it is a schedule I, and it was made a schedule I without any proper research. Keep yelling at the clouds.
Fact is that yes there has been some research, but without being able to do it in the U.S., that severely hamstrings the amount of research that can be done. Same thing with psilocybin research.
Bottom line to my point, MDs are going to need research and the FDA to approve uses before they’ll be doing prescriptions. And now that research and approval can happen.
I personally can’t stand weed. But it’s important to keep a scientific mind when dealing with medicinal research… you know… science. Let’s let real research actually be conducted. And that couldn’t happen while it was a schedule I.

Yep, we can only trust companies like Pfizer and Moderna to create medicines to help us. If a bunch of people don’t make billions and the .gov doesn’t sign off, there’s no way it can help people right?
