Justice Department Publishes Proposed Rule to Reclassify Cannabis, Begins Accepting Public Comments
https://norml.org/blog/2024/05/21/justi ... -comments/Publication of the proposed rule begins a period of public comment, which extends through July 22, 2024. Comments may be submitted electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal using the reference: ‘Docket No. DEA-1362.’
NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said: “NORML is in a unique position to mobilize interested parties to provide their perspectives throughout the public comment period and we will be encouraging advocates and experts to do so in the coming weeks. In particular, it is important that the voices of both physicians and patients are heard and considered, as the Justice Department weighed the real-world experiences of doctors and their patients in medical cannabis states when making their recommendation to reclassify.”
Armentano continued: “Additionally, NORML will be submitting our own comprehensive comments substantiating the evidentiary record that cannabis possesses accepted medical utility and comparatively low dependence liability. We will also be addressing a number of the issues raised by political opponents with respect to cannabis’ impact on public health, making it clear that these concerns do not warrant the continued classification of cannabis as a Schedule I substance.”
He concluded, “While NORML ultimately favors descheduling rather than rescheduling, we understand that reclassification is associated both symbolic and tangible benefits to the cannabis community, both in the short-term and the long-term.”
Interested parties also have until June 20th to request legal hearings to further debate the issue.
