HHS Cannabis Rescheduling Memo Released Federal News Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

The big memo is in the headlines again this week with the announcement that the HHS will be releasing an un-redacted version of the memo an attorney pursued litigation to force the agency to produce the document. A highly redacted version was released last year which amounted to almost no information for the public. This followed a FOIA request that missed the deadline to produce the documents and was the basis for the lawsuit. The DEA has recently responded to the recommendation by claiming they are now conducting their own review of the schedule status of cannabis as a schedule I substance. Their review should be scientifically based on available medical data and public policy. This could potentially lead to a major shift in the cannabis industry as it would open up more opportunities for research, production, and distribution. The cannabis industry has been rapidly growing in recent years, with more and more states legalizing its use for both medical and recreational purposes. This memo could be the impetus for actual policy changes that lead to legalization at the federal level. One of the biggest obstacles facing the cannabis industry is its federal classification as a schedule I substance, meaning it is considered to have no medical value and a high potential for abuse. This has limited research on the plant and hindered efforts to fully legalize it at the federal level. However, if cannabis were to be reclassified as a schedule III substance, it would join other drugs such as codeine and ketamine which are deemed to have some medical benefits.

DEA responds to cannabis rescheduling recommendation Jan 07, 2024

The historic memo by the Department of Health and Human Services recommending that cannabis be rescheduled as a schedule III substance has the nation on the edge of their seat waiting to hear how this is received. The DEA has ultimate authority on how controlled substances are scheduled but made no formal statement at the time the memo was leaked. Pro cannabis Representative Blumenauer and others followed up with a letter that detailed why cannabis should be descheduled but again, no formal response was given-until recently that is. In a statement released this week, the DEA are now conducting a review of the controlled substance based on available scientific data. The debate over cannabis scheduling has been ongoing for years, with advocates arguing that it should be reclassified due to its potential medical benefits and low risk of abuse compared to other drugs in the same category. On the other hand, opponents argue that any psychoactive substance should remain heavily regulated. Many colleges are now offering degrees in cannabis and funding large medical studies, which could potentially lead to new evidence supporting its rescheduling. In addition, individual states continue the legalization efforts while legalized states bring in millions in additional tax dollars.

The latest news this week comes as 29 former federal prosecutors urge the Biden administration to maintain marijuana's Schedule I classification! According to the prosecutors, marijuana has become more dangerous, potent, and addictive since its last review in 2016. They argue that legalizing marijuana has benefited drug cartels and highlight concerns about youth safety and the addictive potential of marijuana. 💪 The prosecutors emphasize that marijuana does not have an accepted medical use or safe use under medical supervision. They also warn against rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III, as it could allow marijuana companies to deduct expenses for advertisements targeting youth and the sale of kid-friendly marijuana products. 😱 Check out Cannabis Legalization News with Tom Howard and Miggy 420 to hear more about the letter addressed to the Biden administration and the arguments put forth by these former prosecutors. 📚✨ #MarijuanaProsecutors #ScheduleI #BidenAdministration #DrugCartels #MedicalMarijuana #YouthSafety #AddictivePotential #PublicHealth

The New Marijuana Legalization Bill: What You Need To Know | Cannabis News Nov 05, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The latest bill to federally legalize cannabis was reintroduced to Congress last week calling for the amendment of the Controlled Substance Act. This latest measure, known as the STATES Reform Act is one of several legislative attempts to ease federal restrictions on what is still currently a Schedule I substance. The bipartisan bill sponsored by Senator Nancy Mace was first introduced in 2021 under an equally oppositional house speaker. The New Marijuana Legalization Bill: What You Need To Know | Cannabis NewsWe have yet to see what changes have been made as this version has not been made publicly available at this time. Senator Nancy Mace has been a long time advocate of federal legalization of cannabis. Even though several bills on the subject are under consideration, it remains to be seen which will prevail. It is clear though that the movement for legalization has grown significantly in the last few years and more states are being open to the idea. The STATES Reform Act would serve as a stepping stone towards this goal.The Act seeks to remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and allow states to regulate it in their own way. It also aims to create an environment that encourages businesses and individuals to operate legally and provides a pathway for those with convictions related to cannabis offenses.The STATES Act has been seen as a major step forward for the legalization movement, but there is still work to be done. As more states move towards legalizing cannabis, most federal bills such as these take the back burner while Congress seeks to address budget issues prior to another government shutdown.

HHS Schedule III Letter Revealed | Cannabis Legalization News Oct 29, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The HHS Letter, issued August 29th 2023, rescheduled cannabis from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug. This move has been widely praised by members of the medical and scientific communities, as it paves the way for further research into the potential medicinal benefits of cannabis. Additionally, it reduces the stigma associated with cannabis use and possession, making it easier for people to access and use medical marijuana products without fear of criminal charges. Ultimately, the HHS Letter is a landmark ruling that shows progress towards more sensible regulations on marijuana and opens up new opportunities for research in this field. It may also become part of a larger trend towards decriminalizing or legalizing recreational marijuana in certain states or at the federal level - something many advocates have long advocated for.
