The Department of Health and Human Services has moved to reclassify marijuana as less harmful than cocaine or heroin, a possible first step toward wider legalization, according to reports.

In a letter obtained by Bloomberg News, a Health and Human Services Department official wrote to Drug Enforcement Agency Administrator Anne Milgram that marijuana should be classified as a schedule three substance, which consists of drugs “with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.”

    Home brewing alcohol doesn’t have to be complicated. I make hard cider all the time by just opening a jug of apple juice, dumping in yeast, and putting a balloon with a pin hole over the mouth of the jug. Kids could very easily make hooch if they wanted to.

      I did that when I was a teenager. Way easier than trying to keep an illegal plant alive that smells strongly of weed.
