I wonder if even schedule 3 wouldn't create confusion. I don't see where recreational products would be legal, and if not, we still have a problem. It probably would still be a problem in legal cannabis stores as the products they sell have never been through FDA testing. What would constitute legal schedule 3 products to sell.
If Congress were serious, it should be legal, and taxed in the same way that alcohol and tobacco are. State's could say what's legal for them, but the Feds would stay out, but collect their taxes. This is probably the only action that could totally free up banks to treat cannabis based businesses just like any other business.
Of the three, cannabis is certainly a safer product than tobacco, and time may prove it's safer than alcohol as well. While cigarettes may not generally cause driving accidents, they are attributed for causing many forms of cancer while cannabis seems to have anti cancer benefits.
I don't know that Session's action may not be the catalyst for Congress doing something, and if it is, I wonder if that's not precisely what Trump intended. Chaos theory, you may not be able to control the outcome, but you get action.
