So...this opioid act today is in the very final stages of getting enacted into law by congress. It's already passed both the House and senate but is in final negotiations today. If it passes with Cohen's amendments attached, then congress will have rescheduled MJ to schedule 2. I'm not kidding. Check it out on Govtrack and in this article:

Congress to Hash Out Final Bill Aimed at Opioid Epidemic

Lawmakers in Congress will meet on Wednesday to forge final legislation to tackle the country’s deadly opioid epidemic, a day after Democrats, supported by the White House, promised to oppose the bill unless it included far more money for treating addicts.
