What does the public think about rescheduling cannabis in a post-prohibition era driven by data, not stigma.
What does the public think about rescheduling cannabis? Long before federal officials formally moved to reschedule cannabis, they had already made up their mind. According to a widely cited poll from Pew Research Center, 88% of Americans supported legal cannabis in some form—either for medical use, adult use, or both—prior to the rescheduling announcement. The overwhelming consensus set the stage for what many see as a long-overdue policy shift catching up with reality.
Post-rescheduling polling shows public opinion has only grown more confident, particularly around cannabis’s medical potential. A December 2025 survey from YouGov found more than three-quarters of U.S. adults believe cannabis has legitimate medical uses, while just a small minority disagreed. Notably, the poll also showed broad approval for rescheduling specifically because it allows expanded medical research—an issue which resonates across party lines.
Another YouGov medical-focused poll reinforces the point. Large majorities said cannabis should be studied and made available as a treatment option, especially where conventional therapies fall short. This is not abstract support; it reflects lived experience. Veterans coping with PTSD consistently report medical cannabis can help manage anxiety, nightmares, and sleep disruption when traditional medications fail or cause harsh side effects. For many, rescheduling represents validation rather than experimentation.
Patients with cancer, IBS, and chronic pain echo similar sentiments. Poll respondents frequently cite cannabis’s ability to ease nausea from chemotherapy, stimulate appetite, reduce inflammation, and improve sleep quality. Sleep, in particular, stands out as a near-universal concern—one where many Americans say cannabis has helped them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
The impact extends beyond people. Everyday pet owners increasingly report using CBD products to calm anxious dogs during fireworks, ease joint pain in aging pets, and improve overall quality of life. While veterinarians urge careful dosing and further study, public acceptance of pet-focused CBD mirrors the broader shift toward viewing cannabis as a wellness tool rather than a cultural wedge issue.
Taken together, these polls paint a clear picture. Americans are not debating whether cannabis belongs in modern medicine—they are asking how best to regulate, research, and responsibly use it. Rescheduling did not change public opinion; it aligned federal policy with a public already convinced cannabis can help real people, and even their pets, live better lives.
Feds reveal medical cannabis is very popular with the disabled, according to a new federal study examining pain relief, access and policy implications.
In a move displaying the practical use of marijuana, the feds reveal medical cannabis is very popular with the disabled for a sound reason. A newly released federal study finds Americans living with disabilities are increasingly using cannabis to manage pain, stress and other chronic symptoms, underscoring a growing gap between patient behavior and federal drug policy.
The research, published in the Disability and Health Journal and funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, draws on data from nearly 2,000 adults who self-identify as having a disability. About 22 percent of respondents reported current cannabis use, a rate notably higher than estimates for the general adult population.
Pain relief was the most frequently cited reason for use. More than 70 percent of participants said they use cannabis to manage pain, while roughly 60 percent reported using it to relax or reduce tension. Others cited relief from migraines, nausea, muscle spasms, sleep disturbances, seizures and mental health symptoms. Participants represented a wide range of disability types, including mobility, cognitive, vision, hearing, self-care and independent living limitations.
Researchers note the data is self-reported and not nationally representative, with respondents skewing toward white, female and college-educated individuals. Still, the authors concluded cannabis use is prevalent across disability categories and warrants greater attention from public-health officials and policymakers.
The findings arrive as the administration weighs whether to follow through on plans to reschedule cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act. Marijuana is currently classified as a Schedule I substance, a category reserved for drugs with no accepted medical use, despite growing evidence and widespread patient use. Moving cannabis to Schedule III would formally acknowledge its medical value and reduce barriers to research.
For patients with disabilities, rescheduling is not an abstract policy issue. Federal classification affects everything from clinical research and physician guidance to affordability and access. Because cannabis remains federally restricted, doctors often lack clear guidelines, large-scale clinical trials remain limited, and insurance coverage is nonexistent. Patients are left navigating a patchwork of state rules while managing complex health needs.
Advocates say the study highlights how policy has lagged behind reality. Millions of Americans with chronic conditions are already using cannabis as part of their care, often after conventional treatments failed or caused severe side effects. Many report turning to cannabis to reduce reliance on opioids, muscle relaxants and sleep medications, which can carry significant risks with long-term use.
Public-health experts warn continued delay has consequences. Without expanded research and standardized medical guidance, patients rely on trial and error rather than evidence-based care. For people with disabilities, who frequently manage multiple conditions at once, the uncertainty can be particularly harmful.
Rescheduling would not legalize cannabis nationwide, but it would ease research restrictions, encourage clinical studies focused on disability-related conditions, and provide clearer guardrails for physicians and patients alike. Supporters argue it would move cannabis use out of the shadows and into a more accountable medical framework.
As federal officials debate next steps, the study adds urgency to the discussion. For people living with daily pain and functional limitations, cannabis is not about recreation. It is about relief. The question now is whether federal policy will catch up with the patients already depending on it.
Everyone seems rushed, irritated and even annoying – sometimes you just want to mental slip away – marijuana might be a short term answer
Work, kids, the election year and social media can all make our day to day rushed, irritating and stressed. Sometimes you just want to mental slip away and let your troubles fall evaporate and let your body and soul relax and enjoy a moment. Cannabis can help you have an hour or two to just be in the moment. And unlike alcohol, there isn’t a hangover which can or can’t pop up afterwards. Microdosing is another option as you engage in activities to just let you sink into a relaxed mood. Here are the best moments to slip into bliss by consuming marijuana.
Here are the best blissful moment to consume marijuana and right your soul. Just remember if you vape, using an oil or go old school and smoke, you will feel THC quickly. Edibles, including gummies, can take 30-60 minutes to hit.
Taking a bath
If has been a long and you you and your body are exhasuted and a hot bath is always inviting. Set the scene with scented candles and relaxing tunes then consume a little marijuana. Once you’ve settled in, achieve physical and psychological serenity. The warm water and soothing tunes will align with the plant and let your anxiety float away.
Enjoy a good meal

Microdosing can be a hit here as you just want to take the edge off. Cannabis will help you savor every flavor and enjoy each dish. You’ll be awed by every appetizer, soup, salad, entrée and decadent dessert that arrives at your table. Certain strains will help you avoid the munchies so you don’t go overboard.
Working out with weed.

Working out and marijuana gives an endorphin high. The runner’s high” is very much akin to the cannabis experience, because exercise activates the endocannabinoid system in the same way as consuming weed. It can also give your metabolism a boost. For runners, it alleviates the tedium of putting one foot in front of the other. For those who opt for exercise machines, which are designed to isolate individual muscle groups, cannabis will allow you to focus more keenly on the contraction of those muscles. Many yoga enthusiasts swear by cannabis because it marginalizes linear thought and focuses awareness on breathing and proper alignment.
Some people find bliss in a clean house or a beautiful garden. Some strings of Cannabis will place you in a zone of achievement – even actual play! Pay attention to your thought processes. You’ll find that the mind entertains itself as the body scrubs the bathroom. It will bounce happily from topic to topic and wrap itself around pleasant ideas. You’ll solve problems and find solutions.
Cannabis lets your mind settle and focus, which makes experience amazing. Music is richer, jokes are funnier. Some people feel it is like you are in the movies or part of the music. Whether you are settled in a big, dark, comfortable movie theater/auditorium or snuggled on your couch, your mind can lose itself. All of your senses are deprived except for sight and sound. And because cannabis seems to promote empathy, involvement with the action on-screen is enhanced. You might want to focus on more upbeat movies and not on extreme action or horror.
Commune with nature
Losing yourself in nature is great, whether an urban stroll or a walk on the beach, forest, meadow, etc. you realize the outside is great place. Re-establishing the connection with fresh air, birds singing and the nature can delight your soul. After consuming, you can observe the world’s palette of colors, feel the wind, bask in the sun. Allow your worries and problems to diminish.
Evidence indicates cannabis users report physical and sensual enhancement, making for a fuller time of enjoyment.. Cannabis eases anxiety, giving an opportunity to go with the flow and delight in the experience.
While there is a phrase too much of a good thing, most people don’t overdo. But if you are wondering if you are overusing anything, candy, alcohol or marijuana, it is smart to pause and asses how often, how much, and why. Using marijuana heavily (daily or near-daily) can damage your memory, attention, and learning ability. It can last a week or more after the last time marijuana was used. Some mircodose low amounts to manage stress and anxiety, the trick is the potency.
The Fresh Toast – Is it safe to smoke weed daily? It depends – why do you ask, how are you feeling? Here is an answer to your question.
There is not significant research for the complete answer. Someone who has been waking and baking for years is tdifferent that a cancer patient medicating with cannabis to relieve pain or nausea. Ask he question and be honest with yourself. And, if possible, have the conversation with your general practitioner or a trusted doctor.

How Addictive Is Marijuana?
According to one government-supported study, nearly 9 percent of people who use marijuana will become abusers. This compares to about 10% of people who drink alcohol, cocaine, 17% Opioids 26%, and for nicotine 32%. Cannabis is less addictive than neatly every legal or illegal drug.
Research has demonstrated that daily marijuana use can lead to increased tolerance and withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop.
If you have the slightest concern that you have developed a physical or mental dependence on marijuana, be proactive. Ween yourself off daily use. Take a tolerance break and recalibrate your system. If this becomes too difficult, it is possible you might want to explore more why.
Does Daily Use Cause Physical Changes To The Brain
Research is mixed on this question, except for those with still developing brain. Science is clear cannabis, alcohol and other drugs have a definite impact on brain development. In adults, it is a mixed bag and also depends on dosing. A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found “daily marijuana use is not associated with brain morphometric measures in adolescents or adults.”
According to this study, earlier research did not control for alcohol use. When that variable was included, the study suggests “it is possible alcohol use, or other factors, may explain some of the contradictory findings to date.”
The study concluded that “while the literature clearly supports a deleterious short-term effect of marijuana on learning and memory, it seems unlikely that marijuana use has the same level of long-term deleterious effects on brain morphology as other drugs like alcohol.”
Does this mean daily consumption of cannabis is OK? No. The research does not say that. The data is not definitive on what longtime daily use does to cognitive development.
Dr. Stuart Gitlow, a professor at the University of Florida, is an addiction specialist and an ardent opponent of the medical use of marijuana, promotes a loss of attention, focus and concentration.
While the medical community continues to study the issue, one thing is clear: Young, developing minds should refrain from cannabis use. And daily consumption for an adolescent or teen is not advised.
Should I Steer Clear Of Waking And Baking
Similar to morning use of alcohol among alcohol-dependent individuals, morning use of marijuana may indicate dependence and increased cannabis-related impairment, according to a study in the journal Addiction and Research Theory.
The report, co-authored by cannabis researcher Mitch Earleywine, suggests that “morning users reported significantly more problems than non-morning users, and morning use accounted for significant unique variance in problems.”
The positive news, according to the study, shows that “morning use also has the potential to lend itself to straightforward intervention. … Exploratory mediational analyses did not support the idea that morning use led to problems via withdrawal.”
So if this is one of your habits, now may be the time to wean yourself fr0m it. There are potential negative outcomes, but not in everybody.
Can it cause long term health issues
Marijuana smoking, like tobacco smoking, may be associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Marijuana smoke contains cannabinoid compounds in addition to many of the same components as tobacco smoke.
In addition, cannabis does increase symptoms of bronchitis like coughing and wheezing.
An anthem of youth and counterculture has been sex, drug and rock and roll. Since the 60s it has been been part of concerts, colleges, and early post school life. Deadheads, Blockheads and the Sex Pistols all rode the wave. Now science agrees music is a turn on like sex and marijuana.
Now, landmark research from McGill University in Montreal demonstrates the opioid system in human brains is directly involved in musical enjoyment.
“This is the first demonstration that the brain’s own opioids are directly involved in musical pleasure,” says cognitive psychologist Daniel Levitin, senior author of the paper.
While previous work by Levitin’s lab and others had used neuroimaging to map areas of the brain which are active during moments of musical pleasure, scientists were able only to infer the involvement of the opioid system.
“The findings, themselves, were what we hypothesized,” Levitin said. “But the anecdotes — the impressions our participants shared with us after the experiment — were fascinating. One said: ‘I know this is my favorite song but it doesn’t feel like it usually does.’ Another: ‘It sounds pretty, but it’s not doing anything for me.’ ”

Although the neural underpinnings of music cognition have been widely studied in the last 15 years, the study found relatively little is known about the neurochemical processes underlying musical pleasure. Preliminary studies have shown both performing and listening to music modulate levels of serotonin, epinepherine, dopamine, oxytocin, and prolactin. Music can reliably induce feelings of pleasure, and indeed, people consistently rank music as among the top ten things in their lives bring pleasure, above money, food and art.
Aside from the strong findings, the study also suggests musical therapy may be much more effective than previously known. And musical therapy is not a “new-wave” form of treatment for improving mental health. It is one of many types of therapy.
“The idea of music as a healing influence which could affect health and behavior is as least as old as the writings of Aristotle and Plato. The 20th century discipline began after World War I and World War II when community musicians of all types, both amateur and professional, went to Veterans hospitals around the country to play for the thousands of veterans suffering both physical and emotional trauma from the wars.

“The patients’ notable physical and emotional responses to music led the doctors and nurses to request the hiring of musicians by the hospitals. It was soon evident that the hospital musicians needed some prior training before entering the facility and so the demand grew for a college curriculum. The first music therapy degree program in the world, founded at Michigan State University in 1944, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1994. The American Music Therapy Association was founded in 1998 as a union of the National Association for Music Therapy and the American Association for Music therapy.”
The McGill University study proved to be “the most involved, difficult and Sisyphean task our lab has undertaken in 20 years of research,” according to Levitin. “Anytime you give prescription drugs to college students who don’t need them for health reasons, you have to be very careful to ensure against any possible ill effects.”
Music’s universality and its ability to deeply affect emotions suggest an evolutionary origin, and these recent findings “add to the growing body of evidence for the evolutionary biological substrates of music,” the researchers write.
New York cannabis farmers say that as the future of the state’s legal cannabis industry remains uncertain, they are facing deepening mental and financial despair as they sit on hundreds of pounds of weed at their farms.
Lisa Keller, the owner of Weaver Road Farms in Chautauqua County, has increasingly dealt with feelings of anger and depression as she’s tried to get her business together since receiving a license to grow cannabis last year.
It’s hard for her to push those feelings aside. They tug at her as she wakes up early to tend to her farm, which she owns with her husband, Ed. She then makes deliveries for her local Walmart to help pay for bills and groceries.

“I feel sad. And I have no luxury to stop,” Keller said. “No matter what, I’m going to keep going, and I just try to keep any of those feelings in check. You want to say f–k it, but then what do you have? Everything you’ve done is worthless. So you can’t. You just gotta keep going.
“If I give up or go into despair, then everything would fall apart. My whole household, my whole life will fall apart if I don’t keep going and do not curb any of those negative feelings.”
New York state’s legal cannabis program has been thrown into turmoil.
The already slow rollout of legal pot shops has meant that growers have nowhere to sell their product as unlicensed dispensaries typically buy from California or other states with more developed growing industries. They also don’t want to jeopardize their licenses as being part of the state program — and selling pot to unlicensed shops could lead to losing them.
Farmers are fighting for shelf space at just 23 legal dispensaries in the state. In this photo, people line up to purchase legal recreational cannabis products at the Housing Works Cannabis Co. on Dec. 29, 2022, in Manhattan.
Tess Interlicchia, a nurse practitioner who owns Grateful Valley Farm in upstate New York, said growers are increasingly considering quitting the industry as they face mounting difficulties.
“It’s been quite a nightmare,” Interlicchia told the Daily News. “… There’s really been no relief in sight for the farmers.”
Interlicchia is very passionate about the positive impacts of cannabis on mental health — but says the state’s handling of the budding industry has negatively impacted her own mental wellbeing. Farmers typically face disproportionately higher rates of suicide: Research shows the suicide rate among farmers is more than three times higher than the general population.
“You want to give up,” she said. “You want to throw away this whole cannabis venture, you want to stop chasing your passions and trying to help other people. You want to just not do it anymore. It’s depressing. It definitely is. It’s frustrating. I have had to borrow money for groceries to feed my kids. It was very humiliating.”
Interlicchia, 42, a single mother of two, started smoking cannabis as a teen, in part because it helped her depression. As an adult, she’s worked for two decades as a nurse, helping patients get medical marijuana certification to get them off opioids and benzodiazepines.
“It’s really hard. It plagues almost everybody at some point in their lives — depression, anxiety, you know, the usual things — and it’s so much more prevalent right now,” Interlicchia said. “Since the pandemic so, so many folks are suffering but cannabis really, really helps a lot … but then a lot of the farmers, we’re struggling.”

Interlicchia became so concerned for her friend and fellow farmer, Jeanette Miller, that she called the police to do a wellness check on her.
Miller, who has long struggled with mental health challenges, said that the state’s Office of Cannabis Management and state leaders have betrayed them after promising an early advantage as the first entrants into the legal weed industry.
“We’re not getting any attention,” said Miller, who owns The Eclectic Farmstead in Newfane, New York. “The farmers are the ones not being spoken about yet… Without us, there is nothing else. And yet here we are in distress, and nobody’s really listening.”
“I wore a noose around my neck today because I feel like I’m going to hang myself,” she said at the meeting. “… We’re tired. We’re done. We’re struggling. We need help.”
Miller said her comment were intended as a wake-up call and cry for help from the state, and that she was “censored” by the OCM, as they cut out her comments and others from the video. The video has since been taken down entirely and was reuploaded with only Miller’s comments cut out on Friday morning.

Miller made startling remarks at a Sept. 12 Cannabis Control Board meeting. In this photo, dry and trimmed cannabis buds stored in glass jars can be seen.
“It’s Suicide Awareness Month and the governor pledged $1 billion to mental health awareness,” Miller said, referring to a multi-year plan by Gov. Hochul aimed at improving access to mental health care in the state.
“And then, when people bring awareness to it, and because of the actions of the state, the duress that it’s causing, not just for myself but other farmers who don’t have the ability to step up for the courage to get up and use their voice, let alone be vulnerable like that in public.”
So many people were against the legalization of marijuana here in the state of New Jersey.
They pictured a wild, wild west of pot smoking, where there would be pillows of smoke clouds in the air and the weed stench would be everywhere. As far as the odor of marijuana wafting through the streets, yes, there are places where that is prevalent.
But it’s certainly far from EVERYWHERE! In fact, it turns out that New Jersey has one of the lowest percentages in the country of people who actually smoke marijuana.
If you think you smell weed everywhere, you’re imagining it.
In fact, there were many places where you could smell marijuana way before it was legal. Particularly in big cities. And despite the fact that federally it remains a controlled substance, people across the country have always used marijuana on a regular basis.
So how much do New Jerseyans actually smoke?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 1.28 million people in New Jersey aged 12 and up have reportedly used marijuana in the last year – or 16.3% of the 12 and older population, the 14th lowest usage rate among states.
Marijuana is legal in New Jersey, for both recreational and medicinal use, yet we still haven’t seen the dramatic rise in the use of marijuana that all of the fearmongers expected.
NJ is pretty low down on the list but not the lowest. Dead last in the country is Texas with a 12.6% share.
More than 3 million people 12 and up have used marijuana in the last year….

ST. PAUL — A bill legalizing recreational adult-use cannabis is on its way to becoming Minnesota law.
The Minnesota Senate early Saturday morning, May 20, approved a final version of a bill that will allow marijuana possession for people 21 and older, expunge marijuana conviction records and create a new regulatory plan for the substance.
After years of advocacy at the Capitol, more than 30 committee hearings since January and two votes in both the House and Senate, the bill is now ready for a signature from Gov. Tim Walz, who supports legalization. Following the governor’s signature, it would go into effect Aug. 1.
The bill’s second-to-last stop was the Senate, which passed the bill on a 34-32 party-line vote. The House passed the same bill Thursday with three Republicans joining Democrats in a 73-57 vote.
Backers of legalization have not touted marijuana as a big money maker for the state, but instead point to the unequal outcomes for different groups in society, particularly racial and ethnic minorities, and wasted law enforcement resources as a reason to end prohibition.
Plus, whether or not pot is legal, people continue to buy, sell and use it. Regulation is the best option, supporters say.
“The system that we have right now is not working; it’s not achieving any of the goals we’re setting out for,” said Senate bill sponsor Lindsey Port, DFL-Burnsville. “If we had a way to solve this with law enforcement we would have done it, so…
ENFORCEMENT DETAILS. ANOTHER HOT ISSUE FOR MISSOURI VOTERS WAS THE ADDING A LOCAL MARIJUANA TAX. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT CITIES AND COUNTIES COULD ASK VOTERS FOR THEIR OWN SALES TAX AS LEGAL WEED SALES BEGAN AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. BUT CANNABIS FINANCE REBECCA GANNON EXPLAINS SOME MUNICIPALITIES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COLLECT THEIR LOCAL TAX. NOW THE STATE ALREADY COLLECTS A 6% SALES TAX ON ANYTHING SOLD INSIDE A DISPENSARY LIKE HERE AT STAIRWAY CANNABIS IN BLUE SPRINGS. THE QUESTION IN THAT MANY PLACES ANSWERED LAST NIGHT IS IF CITIES OR CERTAIN COUNTIES WOULD BE ABLE TO CHARGE A SALES TAX AS WELL. VOTERS SAID YES. NOW, THE BIGGER QUESTION IS CAN BOTH CITIES AND COUNTIES CHARGE FOR IT AT THE SAME TIME? SEE, ALREADY HERE IN BLUE SPRINGS, THE TAX ON RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA WOULD BRING IN ABOUT $250,000 UP IN LIBERTY, ROUGHLY $300,000. AND JACKSON COUNTY ESTIMATES IT MAY BRING IN AS MUCH AS $4 MILLION FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY. BUT THE QUESTION AGAIN, CAN THEY BOTH COLLECT IT AT THE SAME TIME? WHERE I THINK WE JUST NEED TO SETTLE THE ISSUE IS WHAT DOES THE DEFINITION AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT MEAN WHEN THEY SAY LOCAL GOVERNMENT? DOES THAT INCLUDE BOTH OF US OR JUST ONE OF US AT A TIME? NOW, THE PLACE WHERE THIS MAY ULTIMATELY BE DECIDED IS THE COURTS. IF THE MISSOURI STATE LEGISLATURE DOESN’T TAKE THIS UP, REMEMBER, THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND THE PEOPLE WHO ULTIMATELY PAY FOR IT ARE THE CUSTOMERS AT PLACES LIKE STAIRWAY CANNABIS HERE IN BLUE…

IN PERSON OR NOT. AND THEY’RE OFF. SINCE LAST WE SPOKE, RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA SALES OPENED IN MISSOURI. BRING IN CUSTOMERS TO DISPENSARIES IN DROVES ACROSS THE STATE. AND NOW ANYONE 21 AND UP, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, CAN WALK IN AND BUY WEED. MISSOURI SURE ROLLED OUT THE GREEN CARPET IN JUST THE FIRST THREE DAYS FROM FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. LOOK AT THIS. RECREATIONAL SALES HIT EIGHT AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FACTOR IN MEDICAL MARIJUANA SALES, TOP 12.7 MILLION. AGAIN, THAT’S IN ONE WEEKEND. AND THE NUMBERS ARE ONLY PROJECTED TO GROW. IN FACT, THE MISSOURI CANNABIS TRADE ASSOCIATION FORECAST SALES COULD TOP $1.3 BILLION BY 2026. THAT’S A LOT OF GREEN. AND ALL THIS NEW FOOT TRAFFIC COMES AS BUSINESSES ALSO WORK TO SERVE CUSTOMERS WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARDS. EARLIER THIS PAST WEEK, I STOPPED BY DISPENSARY TO SEE HOW THE ROLLOUT IS GOING SO FAR. I’M HERE AT PROPER CANNABIS IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, WITH MEGHAN WILLIAMS, THE GENERAL MANAGER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US. YOU’VE HAD A WEEK UNDER YOUR BELT. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE. CAME EARLIER THAN YOU ANTICIPATED. HOW’S BUSINESS BEEN SO FAR?…
