DEA CANNABIS RESCHEDULING

PUBLIC COMMENT VIEWER

Here is a random public comment on the rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III from Maria Berbeo.

Official Comment Drug Enforcement Agency , I am writing to express my support for the proposal to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This is an important step toward a change in marijuana policy that addresses the decades-long discrimination against Black and Brown communities. Taking marijuana out of the same classification as more harmful substances like methamphetamine and heroin will give a huge boost to cannabis researchers and those in the cannabis business, and set the stage for further reparative measures for impacted communities. Reclassifying marijuana is a necessary step that will move the needle in our ongoing efforts to reform and modernize U.S. drug policy and I urge you to pass this new rule and push back against this nation’s archaic laws against cannabis possession. Thank you. Maria Berbeo mariacrn@icloud.com 6250 Buckingham Pkwy Unit 103 Culver City, California 90230
