The Biden administration announced Thursday that it's officially moving with a proposal to reschedule marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3.

President Joe Biden, in a video posted Thursday on X, touted the proposal as “an important move toward reversing longstanding inequities.”

“Look folks, no one should be in jail for merely using or possessing marijuana. Period,” he said. “Far too many lives have been upended because of a failed approach to marijuana, and I’m committed to righting those wrongs.”

    Pretty sure you’re going to wind up in jail for possession of it as a Schedule III drug as well though, unless you have a prescription.
