National Cannabis Roundtable Leadership on Historic Cannabis Rescheduling

Kathleen Sebelius

NCR Honorary Co-Chair and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services

“Thanks to the Biden Administration’s willingness to look at the science and update outdated, politically-driven policy, the expected reclassification of cannabis to Schedule III finally recognizes that 38 states across the country have already concluded – that cannabis has medical value. Since the last petition calling for a review of the scheduling of cannabis in 2016, we have seen several positive developments that support a conclusion of Schedule III, which will unlock the ability of researchers to find more new uses, formulations, and conditions that can be treated with cannabis to positively impact individuals' lives and public health. We applaud the Biden Administration for following the science and moving to reclassify cannabis, but we also recognize the path forward for federal cannabis reform necessitates a holistic approach requiring more work within executive agencies and by Congress to address the terrible toll that 70 years of the War on Drugs has taken on communities across America.”

Jim Cole

NCR Advisory Board Member and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General for the United States

“The announcement by the Biden Administration is one of tremendous importance and substance and should be applauded. The DEA recommendation of Schedule III is an important first step – it’s truly historic and its importance cannot be understated – but it does not solve all of the issues presented by the current approach to the regulation of cannabis in this country. What is really needed is for Congress to act to create a unified regulatory environment that involves both the states and the federal government. By recognizing, as the federal government has done, that cannabis does have valuable medical applications and with the overwhelming legalization in the states, Congress must face the simple reality that cannabis is and will be present in our society and do its duty by providing for the safest and most effective regulatory environment to exist.”
