Paradoxically, once pot Is Schedule 3, it's going to be a lot less available.
Is that really a paradox at all? Just try to fit alcohol anywhere within the Schedule and you'll eventually find this system was designed to accommodate it, which is one huge paradox to begin with.
...you say, I'll just get it from a doctor.
That's a direct consequence of the $i¢k 'n $ad strategy adopted by the NORML group in the USA it seems: both sides reached an agreement which feels more like a truce, while the war never ends. For example, last December 18 and then on April 18, some of us instantly recognized
Nora Volkow at the oval office... Her sparkling smile told me everything there was to know: medicalization of cannabis at the federal level is going 1 more step deeper and that's no favour.
The thing is, prohibitionists don't waste time. We can expect Big Pharma to come up with an anti-buzz molecule in a matter of decades while disorganized pro-cannabis activists spend theirs over moon-walking. So, those who paid attention to what's currently on the menu may finally realize an even fancier game awaits ahead which ain't pretty in the least at the hands of ¢ontrol freak$.
I suggest we simply allow our imaginations to wander for a minute. At the moment, there's practically no impulse heat consumption method that compares to this game of mine: « to heat-shave the hairy spider »... Briefly put it's the opposite of Slow 'n Steady thermalization. This is about virtually-infinite heat within the range of application: the spider gets shaved-clean but it won't die because the energy is quickly absorbed outside its exo-skeleton, where the hairs are found. The same type of heating would only release noble molecules present at the surface of a synthetic stratified trichome gland, with the goodies turned into an aerosol first, leaving the internal ones intact - which is where the anti-buzz layer would be. A medicalized model such as this would require a special type of consumption method, and yet classic Slow 'n Steady thermalization would release everything that renders any tempering totally pointless. This wouldn't threaten rolling paper sales immediately, but there are consumers who'd willingly jump the fence to adopt this tamper-proof model in exchange for precision, relative safety and so on. Feel free to question your crystal ball! Ask it what's next when that happens - which is only hypothetical, so far...
