DEA CANNABIS RESCHEDULING

PUBLIC COMMENT VIEWER

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

our review that would indicate that the medical use of marijuana poses unacceptably high safety risks for the indications where there is some credible scientific evidence supporting its therapeutic use.” In conclusion, cannabis clearly does not meet the necessary criteria of either a Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substance. While I believe cannabis should be removed from the CSA altogether – thereby harmonizing federal cannabis policy with those of most US states – I nonetheless do not oppose the factual basis underlying HHS’ recommendation to move botanical cannabis to Schedule III or lower. It would be arbitrary and capricious for the DEA to reject HHS’s findings of fact and to maintain existing prohibitions of the cannabis plant. I'm also a Disabled Veteran. I started medicating with Cannabis in 1996, in California. During Prop 215 era. Cannabis has helped me reduce my medications from the VA, from 12 to 1. Also, I would appreciate the cost going down. To be able to afford my cannabis meds on my limited budget. Please reschedule.
