The heart of the matter is not FDA regs, but the 13th amendment; it's not about this drug classification or that, the whole "war on drugs" is just a crowbar to widen the slavery loophole in our constitution. The fact that we're such an imprisoned populace (per capita) is explicitly a matter of shareholder value.
But thanks, FDA, for being the change in a small way.
Where are you getting FDA from? No one should be thanking the FDA for anything as of late considering they have been the political arm of pharmaceutical companies for at least the last 10 years. I think you meant to say DEA regs.
HHS is who recommended to change the schedule.
I agree with the spirit of your comment though, the war on drugs is a tool of oppression, a way for the government to criminalize non-violent, otherwise law abiding citizens they don't agree with. The fact that they also get free labor out of it is just icing on the cake.
