DEA CANNABIS RESCHEDULING

PUBLIC COMMENT VIEWER

Here is a random public comment on the rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III from an anonymous commenter.

I support full legalization and rescheduling is a good start. The majority of people no longer buy the false facts that marijuana is a deadly narcotic / gateway drug. It is absolutely absurd that the DEA (or any agency for that matter) is allowed to attack marijuana and the users of it. Marijuana was only made illegal to target specific individuals, and has only remained illegal to help populate private prisons, benefit pharmaceutical companies (marijuana decreases prescribed opiate use) and other corporations that have a vested interested in seeing marijuana remain illegal. Keeping marijuana illegal creates a lack of trust with the DEA. How can anyone believe anything the DEA says when they've been profiting off keeping marijuana illegal?
