While I'm not a lawyer, if I understand it; once rescheduled as long as I have a prescription for it, it's a valid substance if I "fail" the test. I could be wrong, but that was the interpretation I understand (since you can take opioids and still maintain a CDL - they verify the script after you fail for it).

You’ll be a SAD driver. Doesn’t matter if it’s rescheduled or not, you can’t consume and drive commercially. Period.

Alcohol isn’t scheduled, benzos aren’t schedule 1, doesn’t mean you can be strung out on them while driving. I can write a prescription for all, doesn’t mean shit. Rescheduling doesn’t make you a protected class, a trucking company isn’t obligated to accept that liability.

I don't know how it works in the states, but in Canada you still get a DUI if driving while high.

MJ stays in your body long after the effects have worn off. You can test positive weeks after consumption.
