While it being moved to Schedule ~II~ (Correction: III) rather than removed altogether is a bit disappointing, I'm not gonna miss the forest for the trees on this one: this is a big deal after all this time.

It's moving to schedule III, though the new company it's in really highlights how it should be descheduled instead:

> It moves pot to Schedule III, alongside ketamine and some anabolic steroids

Hopefully the first step but not the last.

Ah, good catch. Yeah, I'll take the progress even if it's not exactly where I'd like policy to be ultimately.
