DEA CANNABIS RESCHEDULING

PUBLIC COMMENT VIEWER

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

To whom it may concern, Rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to a lower category falls short of addressing the profound injustices and systemic harm inflicted by its prohibition. The criminalization of cannabis has disproportionately affected marginalized communities, overcrowded our prison systems, and perpetuated a cycle of stigma and inequality. Descheduling cannabis entirely is not only a matter of correcting these past wrongs but also an essential step toward embracing a more just and evidence-based approach to drug policy. Only through complete descheduling can we pave the way for comprehensive research, equitable economic opportunities, and the true dismantling of the unjust legacy left by cannabis prohibition. Sincerely, Ben
