The US department of Health and Human Services has completed the review called for by President Biden last year, and has sent a letter to the DEA officially recommending that cannabis be moved from the “schedule 1” classification (with dangerous and addictive drugs like heroin) to the much less strict “schedule 3”.

While I feel cannabis should be descheduled and treated like alcohol (which I think is more dangerous and prone to abuse), this is a very positive step in the right direction.
