While this is significant, it is only the first step at the federal level to treat cannabis on a rational basis. It is still not legal on the federal level for recreational use, and this does nothing to change that.
Trump Signs Executive Order To Reclassify Marijuana By Removing It From Schedule I: This marks one of the most significant developments in federal cannabis policy since its prohibition a half a century ago.

Our condolences to the family and loved ones of brother @jimmycliff as he makes his transition. Jimmy was an instrumental figure in Bob’s coming up, having brought him to producer Leslie Kong in 1962 to record his very first singles, “Judge Not” and “One Cup Of Coffee.” 🙏🏾🕊️
Reporter: How and when did you start making music?
BOB: “Well, I was about sixteen, living in Trench Town (Kingston 12). I always loved singing, I loved music, so over a period of time I wrote some songs and eventually did some recordings.”
Reporter: Was that with Leslie Kong?
BOB: “Yeah, Jimmy Cliff took me to see him around ’62. Jimmy was big then because he already had a hit name ‘Hurricane Hattie’ and later ‘miss Jamaica’ another big one. I really love Jimmy because he always tries to help people out.”
Today, Jamaica pauses to honour the life of the Honourable Jimmy Cliff, OM, a true cultural giant whose music carried the heart of our nation to the world.
Through timeless songs like Many Rivers to Cross, The Harder They Come, You Can Get It If You Really Want, and Sitting in Limbo, Jimmy Cliff told our story with honesty and soul.
His music lifted people through hard times, inspired generations, and helped to shape the global respect that Jamaican culture enjoys today.
We give thanks for his life, his contribution, and the pride he brought to Jamaica.
I extend heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and to every Jamaican, I know we feel this loss deeply.
Walk good, Jimmy Cliff. Your legacy lives on in every corner of our island and in the hearts of the Jamaican people.
We haven’t seen a photo of our home planet that we didn’t like! 😍 While living and working 250 miles above Earth, crew members aboard the @Space_Station captured these mesmerizing images of the place we call home. Take a look at more images like this: https://t.co/JSjCdK5H0Q
Bees are important #pollinators, but they’re not the only ones. Beetles, flies, and wasps all provide valuable #pollination services in the Great Plains: https://t.co/n4ZyhcmP9m.

This is VERY cool. Thanks to a genuinely democratic election system (a/k/a #ProportionalRepresentation), the Swedish #GreenParty is once again part of that country's governing coalition. 5 Greens now hold Ministerial (Cabinet) positions in Sweden's national government.
US has backed right-wing coups up and down Latin America for 100+ years. Not one was about democracy. All have been to enrich the global elite. But we’re supposed to believe this time in Venezuela - which has the world’s largest oil reserves - is different?

I am prepared to take all steps necessary, including holding DOJ nominees, until the Attorney General lives up to the commitment he made to me prior to his confirmation.
Led by Dianne Feinstein, Democrats are exploiting Russiagate to eliminate the political opposition to their left. The innuendo spread against Stein and the Green Party contains all the classical elements of McCarthyism. https://t.co/B0KRBlTZ5L
