DEA Judge Halts Cannabis Rescheduling Process, May Reopen Hearing Record

or

DEA Judge stays marijuana rescheduling hearing after GAO flags process gaps

Previously, we were waiting for Judge J to issue his recommendation for rescheduling. It was expected around October. That won't happen now. The process is on hold (stayed) until the Judge considers an argument by the prohibitionists that a new GAO report is relevant.

My primary argument against rescheduling is that it's sole underlying purpose is to delay descheduling as long as possible. In that vein I believe this is a tactical error on the prohibitionists part. Getting rescheduling "done" instead of just another promise is a lot more politically valuable. Funding anti-Cannabis GOP candidates and delaying rescheduling may cause an adverse drug reaction.

The reasoning for this delay is suspect. The argument relies upon an ad hominem fallacy: that the quality of the argument presented by the DEA is tainted by a lack of quality (training, policies and procedures). The case, good or bad, has been presented to the judge. He is tasked with judging the merits of the arguments not who presented them. There is no allegation that the facts presented to the judge were incorrect. Given the role of sole defender at the hearing, the only benefit of addressing the issues raised in the GAO report would have been to increase the quality of the defense. If there was any information that more due diligence on the government's part would have changed the recommendation negatively it was the burden of the prohibitionists to present what the diligence would have found. Instead, they've pulled the age old prohibitionist tactic: delay because of possible risk. This is patently bovine excrement.

But it is also no big deal. I don't see this delay stretching past January. While we are in bifurcated schedule 3 status, the main legal questions that make a difference (e.g. rights, payment, travel, firearms) proceed without delay. The DEA still has the option to decline Judge J's recommendation. Frivolous legal challenges like this will likely add additional delay.

BTW - here's a link to the old rescheduling thread.

Discussion Vote -> 2 chances to remove Andy Harris NSFW

55 Upvotes

I received my mail in ballot today. While I can not endorse a position on Question 3, please note that a yes vote will enable the Democrats to gerrymander Andy Harris out of office. Residents of Maryland Congressional District 1 have the chance to elect Dan Schwartz to replace Andy Harris directly.

While I'm on the topic, your state delegates and Senators are also on the ballot. This is your best opportunity to express your thoughts on Cannabis to candidates asking for your vote. Your vote matters. Just because they are a Democrat does not mean they are Cannabis friendly.

Greetings yall! I am a home grower in the Frederick area, as well as a cultivation tech for [REDACTED]. I’ve pretty much almost have my first year of growing at home under my belt, and enjoy the hell out of it! I’m still learning a lot and just trying to improve my grows every time.

Anywho, I’m coming here to ask yall if there’s a MD Homegrowers community anywhere? I know Fingerboard Farm is supposedly doing the Home Growers Cup next year, but that’s about as far as I get for finding other folks around here.

Right now im running a full AC Infinity 2x2x6 setup, 110w LED board, humidifier, and heater. This last run i used a 50/50 of fox farms happy frog and ocean forest and did pretty good. I use BioBizz nutrients which I am very pleased with so far. Looking to improve my setup with things like under-canopy lights, UV lighting, cooling, as well as some additional supplemental nutrients.

Say hi! Post your grows!

The 10 day forecast is totally dry. Should be enough time for it to ripen to the rest of the way. Still seeing too many clear trichomes. Its Afghan friend is milky and could be harvested any time, but I’m gonna let that one ride a bit longer too so it’s nice and stoney.

My first time trying this strain and I think I hit the jackpot, this batch that I got on sale was excellent. Appearance, nose, taste, effects all on point. High leans indica with mind and body effects. Super loud sweet and sugary smell that gets more like lemon pledge and fuel when grind it up. I recommend it

Discussion I Need to Take a THC Break NSFW

25 Upvotes

As the title says, I need to take a break but am having trouble getting started. Make fun of me all you want, but I have a mental addiction to herb and have gotten to the point where my tolerance is sky high and no matter what I smoke or imbibe, whether it's concentrates, edibles, or flower, it's just not having the same effect anymore. I've been getting high now for close to 30 years and am afraid my tolerance is just shot. I've taken short breaks in the past and when I get going again, it's off to the races and I end up right back where I started.
Has anyone else needed to take a T-break and struggled to get started with it? What has helped you take a break? Any advice is appreciated.

Scooped up an eighth for only $19 on sale and man oh man is this batch loud!. When it comes to the terps, as soon as I open the jar I’m getting lots of fuel and cream with hints of rubber!

Buds are nice and dense with the right amount squish to it and the trichomes cover the buds nicely too.

Rolled up a nice blunt and smokes super smooth

Effects are nice - balanced,relaxed, feeling it mostly in the head. Definitely creeps up on you so be careful haha!

Overall 9/10-
This batch of flower looks and smokes very good and definitely packs a punch 🥊

Nice to see some companies put good variety!
i definitely shoulda picked up more of this one,
and on a side note I wish they brought back Black Afghan 🔥 it was amazing!

Nothing important. Went to pick up live resin carts at dispo, they were out of Fadeco. Fuck, ok. Decided Sunnies LR works instead. Get home and 1 of the carts is a distillate. Took one rip and it felt like a mint nicotine vape that you’d buy from a shit gas station. The high is also very weird. Now I’m stuck on whether to go buy a whole new LR cart or just powering through this. How tf do some of yall like this shit???? 😔

Law/Legislation Justin Lane of High Hopes ICT guilty on marijuana trafficking and firearm counts NSFW

Kansas is not a legal state. This is what it takes to get busted by the Feds these days. Remember when I told people that THCA flower was actually not federally legal and the only reason people could get away with selling was that there was no enforcement? This guy had 6 retail locations in Kansas and was shipping nationwide. It's also notable that there was no mention of the dollar value or quantity of Cannabis products seized during the arrest - only the mention of firearms seized.

For the home growers who are worried about the Cannabis seed sales ban taking effect in December, consider that this is the level of local involvement it takes to enforce Federal law.

Consider why the government required Mr. Lane to agree "to stop publicly claiming his operations were lawful" as part of his plea agreement. This is not normal. Here we have the government insisting that THCA flower is already not legal under current law. This case started a year ago. Is that timing a coincidence?

I've been looking for these stories for years. They are few and far between. When they do happen, they usually reveal a lot.

Beautiful buds, nose a bit lacking as you open the jar but after breaking the buds up it has a super sweet, dessert OG aroma that comes through really nice in the taste as well. It reminded me of some OG kush I got in the SF Bay area about 10-12 years ago. So I'm not sure if the nostalgia got me or if it's really that good but I enjoyed it a lot. Effects were super strong, mostly in the head, the first couple times I smoked this I started sweating halfway through the joint which only a few strains do to me. Definitely had me laughing at stupid stuff and obliterated any anxiety without being too sedated to function. Overall it was a nice smoke, the only flaw was the initial lack of smell, and I'm curious if anyone else tried it and what they thought.

This is almost a nothing burger. Only software is changing. Zero sales tax will still be ok for medical patients. Personally I would not recommend shopping on the morning of 11/18. Coordinated software rollouts are usually less coordinated than planned.

Strain info Super Boof : Black Cherry Punch x Tropicana Cookies - Tastes just like old school Tangy🍊🔥

As you can see it’s wet , looks proper a little muted on the nose for Super Boof but the smell does come thru….

Smoked perfectly , Clean , smooth and tasty AF … got me smacked !

The Maryland market is def getting better for rosin🤙🏽

This was spot on and I had expectations it would be dry and nothing like the actual Strain. I was dead wrong!!!
