It's going to be a heck of a fight for it to get taken off that Schedule 1 with our current administration. A lot of the establishment is either against it for 'moral' reasons or immoral ones (special interest group donations).

It's also hard to get through the FDA because it's a complex molecule that has to have pretty much all permutations tested. And the farm where they grow the federal weed is an absolute shit-show.

For now, we can only hope the economic pressures of the places where it's currently legal will help to push it through our federal government. Gonna be a hard year for financing a lot of operations though...
