Advancing 21st Century Cannabis Policy in the United States.

“Thanks to the Biden Administration’s willingness to look at the science and update outdated, politically-driven policy, the expected reclassification of cannabis to Schedule III finally recognizes that 38 states across the country have already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.”
