  I feel like the cops probably had to give a citation because he was breaking the law? I hope they weren’t all happy to do it. 
  The person that called the cops should be ashamed of themselves if they did so without first trying to reason with the patient
context: He should have been in an elementary school. The cops would have just waited at the door for backup and never went in. >

  We just call our kids 'The Brave' so we don't have to think too much about trying to recognize school shootings don't need to be a thing >
  
  I for one am glad that tax dollars are funding police to go after dangerous hardened criminals, like checks paper a terminal ill cancer patient vaping weed.

  Why hasn’t Biden rescheduled cannabis yet? I get that he and Kamala are very pro-police, but the War on Drugs is a clear failure. >
  
  He only has indirect control of it happening. A lot of it, because he's the president, but not everyone who works for the presidency is loyal to the president, especially at this point in time. Like, he straight up doesn't trust the secret service enough to speak openly around them after the Jan 6 cover-ups. A lot of people are actively fighting any progress even under him, and he doesn't have immediate say. >
  
  Does he not have the power to fire those people? Like, he is in charge of who is in charge of the department of justice, so what's the holdup? >
  
  Nope. Can't say for certain about whatever department is in charge of rescheduling drugs, but the USSS only "listens" to the head of the Department of Homeland Security - as in, they explicitly refuse to take orders from the president or anyone under their "protection" - and they have a horrible track record of even listening to the DHS. They're effectively loose cannons. Biden can order a clear out of them, I think, but they normally just shuffle each other around, and bring more MAGAts in, because they have final say over who takes their place.
  Did some research, the people in charge of rescheduling drugs are the DEA, who in turn report to the attorney general. AGs basically never force anyone to do anything without going to court, and again, the DEA mainly only reports to them, they can choose to take orders, but they have a concerning amount of power to just... Do as they wish.
  Moral of the story, the president only really has indirect power over things except executive orders, and only has semi-direct power if the people who he can't easily get rid of are loyal to the office and just the person. >
  
  So you're telling me that if the president ordered the AG to deschedule it, the DEA would just refuse to listen to them? >
  
  Attorney General can't do shit about that other than give an order to look at it, not full on reschedule it because the attorney general doesn't have that power, which they can then "take" and stall into oblivion. >
  
  So the DEA just operates without oversight? >
  
  Kinda, yeah. More like "plausible deniability in the eyes of the law", though. The fact that you don't know this tells me you should probably dig into the history a lot of departments under the president have. This is kinda a pattern throughout time where they just do shady shit and get away Scott free. Fuck, our own military pulls shit like that all the time. It's why there's sometimes talk about them assisting a coup, including the Jan 6 coup attempt, because we don't know how many of them are actually loyal, and how many of them just keep up appearances. >
  
  Interesting, you'd think the president would want that resolved. I guess it gives them the ability to deny responsibility as well and the people get fucked either way. >

  2 things here:  
  Hospitals never want outside meds interfering with their treatment plans (and probably profits).
  In a heavily oxygenated room, fire becomes a greater risk, but as a caregiver, the inevitable explosions from oxygen portrayed in movies are just not at all common.  I can see why they took the vape as combustible devices are not permitted in hospitals (and we do have plenty of examples of them exploding).
  
  Bretz was cited for drug possession and is set to appear in court after the new year on January 2nd, 2023.
  
  This is where shit gets really stupid.  What are they going to do, sentence him to prison while he's dying?
