Dems Push for Removal of Marijuana From Schedule I Status

Democrats from the Senate and House are urging the Drug Enforcement Administration to remove marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, saying it’s “time to act.”

Impatient with the agency’s drawn-out review, Sens, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, along with Reps. Barbara Lee of California and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, are pressing the DEA to get a move on, The Hill reported.

“We are now nearing eight months since the Department of Health and Human Services … recommended rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III — and 18 months since President [Joe] Biden directed HHS and the Department of Justice … to begin the process of reviewing marijuana’s scheduling,” the lawmakers wrote.
