The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the Biden administration will reschedule cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act. Attorney General Merrick Garland will reclassify it from Schedule I‚ the schedule used for drugs that cannot be prescribed for any medical purpose‚ to Schedule III‚ under which it could be prescribed by a physician. There will be an immediate hubbub over what this rescheduling decision means‚ for purposes of both drug policy and the November presidential election. Does rescheduling cannabis legalize its sale across the U.S.&;#63; No‚ it does not‚ for two reasons. First‚ unlike the drugs listed in Schedule I‚ drugs placed in Schedule III are not contraband. A physician may prescribe the latter. But your neighborhood “budtender‚” whose only training and experience in medicine comes from watching “House‚ M.D.” or “E.R.‚” isn’t a physician. Second‚ the Federal Food‚ Drug‚ and Cosmetic Act prohibits the distribution of any “new drug” in interstate commerce—cannabis qualifies—unless and until the Food and Drug Administration commissioner has found that it’s “safe‚” “effective‚” and “uniformly made.” The FDA has never made that finding‚ and it could not do so under current law. Hasn’t the FDA approved the use of cannabis&;#63; Nope. The FDA has never approved the raw or botanical form of cannabis. The FDA has approved the use of certain biologically active cannabis compounds (known as cannabinoids)‚ such as dronabinol (Marinol) and nabilone (Cesamet) for treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and emesis‚ as well as for appetite stimulation in cachexic patients suffering from cancer or HIV/AIDS wasting syndrome‚ along with Epidiolex‚ a purified form of cannabidiol (CBD)‚ for use in treating Dravet syndrome and Lennox–Gastaut syndrome‚ severely debilitating forms of childhood-onset epilepsy. But those drugs are manufactured by legitimate pharmaceutical companies under strict conditions to guarantee their safety‚ effectiveness‚ and purity. What your old college roommate grows out in the country or in his basement is not the same. Does rescheduling cannabis mean that it’s safe to use&;#63; Absolutely not. As Dr. Nora Volkow‚ the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse‚ told Congress in 2020‚ “in general‚ adequate and well-controlled studies are lacking” to test the cannabis sold in states with legalized medical-use or recreational-use regimes. A result is that “individuals across the country are using cannabis strains and extracts that have not undergone the rigorous clinical trials required to show that they are safe and effective for medical use‚ and are not regulated for consistency or quality.” Much of the cannabis sold in states with medical or recreational cannabis laws has not undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it does not contain dangerous toxins. In fact‚ commercial cannabis can contain a “hodgepodge” of dangerous contaminants. Among them are microbials (e.g.‚ E.coli‚ fungi‚ mold); toxins (e.g.‚ aflatoxins); hazardous chemical solvents remaining from the extraction process (e.g.‚ butane‚ hexane‚ propane); pesticides (e.g.‚ organophosphates); heavy metals (e.g.‚ arsenic‚ cadmium‚ lead‚ mercury); and other harmful (e.g.‚ formaldehyde) or distasteful (e.g.‚ insects) substances. Moreover‚ unlike ordinary consumer goods‚ cannabis can lead to dependence or addiction. Like any other substance that produces an intoxicating effect (even if only during its initial use)—such as alcohol‚ tobacco‚ or heroin—cannabis generates a pleasurable “high” that people enjoy. Heavy or long-term use can lead someone to develop a tolerance to cannabis’s psychoactive ingredient‚ requiring ever greater quantities of that chemical to experience the same euphoria. That increasing-quantity user carries potential downsides. Among them are damage to a user’s mental or physical functioning; physical dependence on THC‚ which leads to the unpleasant experience of suffering withdrawal symptoms when use is discontinued; or to addiction‚ in which using cannabis becomes the fulcrum of one’s life. There’s a 10% risk of dependence for people who have ever used cannabis. That risk increases to between 20% and 33% for people who use the drug more often. The risk jumps to 50%—tantamount to a coin flip—for people who use cannabis daily. Given the labile nature of the adolescent brain‚ the risk is greater still for people who begin heavy or long-term use during their youth. As Volkow put it‚ “as compared with persons who begin to use marijuana in adulthood‚ those who begin to use in adolescence are approximately two to four times as likely to have symptoms of cannabis dependence within two years after first use.” Physical dependence is therefore a serious problem. Numerous states approved the sale of cannabis for medical or recreational use; so‚ doesn’t that mean cannabis is safe to use&;#63; Heck‚ no. A state can decide whether or not to legalize cannabis under its own criminal laws. The states that have adopted medical-use or recreational use cannabis programs have not conducted the studies that a legitimate drug sponsor would need to perform to persuade the FDA that cannabis is safe‚ effective‚ and uniform. The states’ legalization of medical-use and recreational-use cannabis without examining or reexamining the potential harms from high-potency forms of that drug should be seen as the scandal that it is. In the rush to obtain a new source of tax revenue and to satisfy a vocal constituency clamoring for a substance that has only the same painkilling properties as bourbon‚ those states have chosen to disregard the 80-plus-year judgment that American society has made to forbid large-scale commercialization of a potentially dangerous drug until after it has been proved safe and effective by its sponsors to the FDA. Maybe a few of those legislators thought that they were offering a respite from pain or other consequences of the maladies that the aged and ill can suffer. Caring might be kindness‚ but it’s not medicine. Why would Biden reclassify it from Schedule I to III&;#63;   Politics. President Joe Biden thinks that a president’s job is to satisfy as many disparate interest groups as is possible‚ regardless of whether any particular action is in the overall public interest. So‚ every now and then—more often as elections approach—he gives every leftist interest group something. Most recently‚ it was forgiving student loans to make recent graduates happy—even though the U.S.  Supreme Court told him that he lacks such authority. Now‚ it’s rescheduling cannabis to appease “stoners‚” because the Jeff Spicolis out there (and they know who they are) need to be pacified‚ too—even though the FDA has not approved agricultural cannabis and could not do so. Making everybody happy might be the task for a mayor or comedian‚ but a president is responsible for the interests of an entire nation. Follow the money: Is someone profiting&;#63; Should the Securities and Exchange Commission examine whether any Biden administration officials acted on the basis of inside information to profit off the decision to reschedule cannabis&;#63; You bet. If Donald Trump had rescheduled cannabis‚ you can bet your bottom dollar that every corporate media outlet from Eastport‚ Maine‚ to Adak‚ Alaska‚ would demand that the SEC investigate him‚ his wife‚ his children‚ every member of his extended family‚ every friend he has ever had‚ and everyone who has the letters T‚ R‚ U‚ M‚ or P in his or her name to see if someone profited from inside information. Sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander. Will the SEC undertake such an investigation&;#63; To quote that New Jersey philosopher Tony Soprano: “Fuhgeddaboudit&;#33;” The post Biden Administration to ‘Reschedule’ Cannabis&;#63; Don’t Light Up Just Yet. appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The Arizona Secretary of State’s Office and the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office have been exposed as doing their best to team up with social media companies‚ non-profits‚ as well as the US government to advance online censorship. This‚ yet another case of “cooperation” (aka‚ collusion) between government and private entities to stifle speech disapproved of by federal and some state authorities has emerged from several public records‚ brought to the public’s attention by the Gavel Project. The official purpose of several initiatives was to counter “misinformation” using monitoring and reporting whatever the two offices decided qualified; another was to censor content on social platforms‚ while plans also included restricting discourse to the point of banning users from county-run accounts. “Online harassment” was another target‚ and Maricopa County took it upon itself to “identify” – and then report to law enforcement. One striking example of the mindset behind all this is a draft of a speech County Recorder Stephen Richer delivered to Maricopa Community Colleges. As reports note‚ Richer is hoping to be reelected this year‚ while back in September 2021‚ he complained that “lies and disinformation” are undermining “the entire election system.” “And it is in this respect‚ that the Constitution today is in some ways a thorn in the side of my office. Specifically the First Amendment‚” Richer said – before declaring himself “a huge fan of the Constitution.” When his office was earlier in the month asked to‚ essentially‚ “make it make sense” – they didn’t‚ stating only that Richer “stands by his speech (…) especially the part where he says he’s ‘a huge fan of the Constitution’.” And while there was no denying the fact that the official expressed these sentiments‚ more revelations from the documents – including the banning of users from official social media accounts – are now described by Maricopa County as drafts that were “never implemented.” Even those willing to take the county’s word at face value might be surprised to learn what some of those “never implemented” plans included. One was‚ opponents might say‚ to spread their own propaganda. Like so: “(Partnering) with influencers in our community and across the country who share our desire to spread accurate information about elections and combat disinformation.” This document‚ titled‚ “Building a Partnership of Election Fact Ambassadors‚” is believed to have been drafted around the 2022 midterm elections. Earlier‚ now former Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs‚ a Democrat‚ “worked with social media companies and censorship nonprofits to track election information online and combat it when they deemed necessary‚” say reports citing the public records. “We’ve heard feedback from elections authorities that they need better tools to track potential voter interference content on Facebook‚” Facebook told her office in a September 2019 email‚ adding: “In response to this feedback‚ we are building a dashboard that will track this content in each state – and we’d like to share those dashboards with the respective elections authorities. These Dashboards will allow for keyword searches of public content on Facebook in each state – and will be able to be customized to each state’s needs.” Hobbs welcomed this development as “great news.” The post Maricopa County and Arizona State Collaborate To Surveil Social Media and Censor “Misinformation” appeared first on Reclaim The Net.

Yet another leaked document has emerged revealing details from the European Union policy regarding the implementation of the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation. (That’s “chat control” – ultimately designed to allow for bulk scanning of all private communications under the guise of looking for illegal content.) The latest leak‚ again first published by the Contexte website‚ is a working document from the current (Belgian) EU Presidency that concerns draft methodology and criteria for the risk categorization of services. Things are moving fast over in Brussels‚ at least on this issue – the draft was published on April 10 to member delegations and was to be discussed as soon as five days later by the Law Enforcement Working Party. But the direction things are moving‚ according to long-time “chat control” opponent and member of the European Parliament (MEP) Patrick Breyer‚ is towards “doubling down” on‚ by various means‚ control and/or suppress what he calls “services that allow people to protect themselves.” Read the document here. Those would be privacy-focused encrypted services‚ and messaging apps‚ which‚ under the methodology presented in the document‚ would receive lower risk scale scores if people can use them without an account‚ or with pseudonyms‚ VPNs‚ TOR‚ encryption‚ cryptocurrencies – in other words‚ in ways that make surveillance and tracking difficult or impossible. That’s not something the EU likes at all‚ and so the plan is to be able (and even likely) to slap those with low scores with orders to scan all content. However‚ those who are not focused on private chats but “predominantly engage in public communication” (i.e.‚ are already open to surveillance and data collection‚ so that detection orders leading to full scanning are not really necessary) will receive better scores. The EU’s logic here is consistent since those who do not harvest user data are automatically slated to have lower scores. Another thing the EU dislikes is decentralized content sharing (such as P2P-based platforms). That’s because‚ as Breyer‚ a German lawyer and member of the Pirate Party remarks‚ P2P renders attempts at server-site scanning useless. Such a methodology demonizes services like torrenting (P2P) platforms‚ TOR‚ ProtonMail‚ and the like‚ he said. “This leaked paper reveals most EU government’s push to mass surveillance and undermining encryption on services essential to citizens‚ NGOs‚ lawyers‚ etc.‚” the MEP stated. “In contrast‚ the European Parliament’s approach would only permit the interception of conversations by people connected to child sexual abuse‚ while mandating many more safety-by-design measures than the Council only mentions in this paper without making them mandatory‚” Breyer added and concluded: “We Pirates will not stop fighting for our fundamental right to digital privacy of correspondence and secure encryption.” The post Leak: EU Governments Impose Bulk Scanning Orders on Encrypted Messaging Services appeared first on Reclaim The Net.

Worldcoin‚ a digital ID project based on biometrics‚ namely‚ eyeball scanning‚ co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman‚ is eying (no pun) partnerships not only with OpenAI‚ but also PayPal‚ reports say. However‚ these movements are not accompanied by any clarity for now‚ an example of this being another Worldcoin co-founder and its CEO Alex Blania refusing to make a direct announcement regarding the deal with OpenAI. Blania at the same time confirmed that the company (specifically‚ Tools for Humanity‚ the main Worldcoin developer) is talking to PayPal – but the payments transactions giant is currently not commenting on any of this. The general trend‚ albeit on a much smaller scale (despite the grandiose ambitions) seems to be the tried-and-tested Big Tech path of acquisitions or collaborations in a particular space in order to consolidate the grip on a market. Reports note that Tools for Humanity previously started working with Okta‚ an identity and access management company‚ while just this April‚ it bought Ottr Finance‚ a startup developing digital wallets. This is happening as Worldcoin is facing pushback from regulators in multiple countries around the world‚ who are mostly concerned about the enrollment standards (such as age verification) and data storage policies the controversial company has in place. Worldcoin’s stated effort is to have “every person in the world” in its ID service‚ where the transactional nature of the thing is users giving up the sensitive biometric data contained in the irises of their eyes in exchange for what some might call “cryptocurrency change.” The ultimate goal is to create the biggest “human identity and financial network” in the world‚ and the promise is‚ no surprise there – that this can and will be done while at the same time “preserving privacy.” But it is precisely privacy fears that are underpinning the scrutiny over Worldcoin’s operations‚ and so its plans have been hitting some snags in places as far apart as Hong Kong and Spain‚ Malaysia‚ and Portugal. However‚ Blania has shared that Worldcoin is taking a “proactive” approach in dealing with regulators‚ that is – it is hoping that compromising on some features will render the operation as a whole sustainable.
