They sure looked the other way when it came to opiates like oxyconton, they are a part of the opiate crisis by focusing on the harmless substance when was the last time they made a major heroin bust for example.
God, I fucking hate the DEA.
I am so fucking tired of the DEA and the joke it has become. And I will also blame Obama for continuing this mess: as someone who smoked pot heavily in his youth (and still turned out OK), for his administration to continue this lie that cannabis is some super gateway drug and has no medicinal value, is shameful.
Science, bitches! Put aside your religious biases and ask: What does science say?

As the article says, there's nothing really new here. It's more so just making it formal instead of letting people know by having the DEA knock down their door to find out.
From the article:
"There is no major change in law brought about by the Register item. Rather, it serves to clarify and reinforce the DEA’s position on all cannabis extracts, including CBD oil."
I was shocked people were selling CBD oils thinking it was okay; that's the only news here for me.
