Rescheduling Benefits Big Pot, Not Research

- He warns rescheduling primarily unlocks banking and investment, enabling a Big Tobacco–style industry expansion.
Daily Use Carries Underplayed Health Costs

- He claims widespread daily consumption has social and public-health consequences that are underacknowledged.
Evaluate Rescheduling Through Regulation Lens
