What Cannabis Rescheduling Actually Means For You

"On April 22, 2026, that direction produced its first concrete result: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a final order placing certain categories of cannabis into Schedule III. But this isn't a blanket reclassification. The order covers FDA-approved cannabis products and state-licensed medical cannabis only; recreational cannabis remains in Schedule I, along with bulk and anything outside the licensed medical lane.

For broader rescheduling, the traditional regulatory process is still in motion: the DEA will hold a new administrative hearing beginning June 29, 2026. Until then, the industry operates in a split reality, where dispensaries holding both medical and adult-use licenses are sitting in a complicated middle ground."

Be careful what you read, write or even watch on tv. "He" can hear us - even if he's not in the room

It's good that Jimmy Kimmel got taken off the air. It's REAL good! How dare he defy authority?

And those people who dared quote that Charlie person ... using his OWN words! It's good they lost their jobs! It's REAL good!

And it's good that people who trade in "hate speech" get fired from their jobs!

It's REAL good that we be taught to not question authority! It's real, REAL good that we don't point out that the people condemning "hate speech" are the ones who basically invented it. It's REAL good!

Now, quickly click off of this thread before "He" wishes you into the cornfield!

NFL 2025

I renewed the NFL pool again this year. Last year's members should get an invite. If anyone else wants to join, please do - the more the merrier.

Go to https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem

Pool name is ABBSpread

you need the group id - 37577 and the password GoBears

You can set it to remind you a day or 2 ahead of the first game of the week.

Pick all games with the spread.

Your worst week gets dropped. So if you are like DanB and get drunk and forget, it won't hurt you for one week.

oh, and there will be trash talking ...

Throwing "Sex Toys" at WNBA Games

Okay, I can see where this might've been funny ... once ... if you're like 12 years old.

This is gettin' up there with the morons who still think it's funny to scream "FREE BUUUURD!" at every music event they attend. Guess what? Not only has it been done - to death, it just ain't funny.

There's got to be a fan or two sitting in near proximity to the mentally undeveloped excuse for a sports fan who does this stuff. This ain't middle school! If you see someone do this there is no dishonor or uncoolness in ratting the moron out to event security.

Put the dickhead's (the perp - not the "toy") name and picture in the hometown paper. Let's see what his family, friends and employer think of their antic.

Well, lots of news lately here.

Outside of those headlines and details, I'm curious what anyone who posts here wants to happen with the Ukraine war and what they think will happen with the Ukraine war.

Gulf of America

Now labeled as such on Google Maps.

Hey Google! While you're re-tagging geography, go ahead and change the country just north of the Gulf to the Divided States of America. I think that would be every bit as appropriate.
