Something to be Hopeful About (Cannabis Chronicles)
The World Health Organization Will Spend This Week Working On Scheduling Of Drugs.
Something to be hopeful about? The WHO spend the week of 11/6/17 to 11/10/17 working on Scheduling of Drugs. Raul Elizalde will be fighting to get CBD out of the Schedule I category.
The United States Government had incorrectly and arbitrarily placed cannabis into Schedule 1 (forbidden category) of the controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 based on old myths and political ideology;
In 1972 the “Shafer Commission” (The National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse) found that marihuana (cannabis) did not meet the criteria for Schedule I placement;
A harsh schedule also does not mean a drug is totally illegal.
Criminal laws, while guided by the scheduling system, often take other factors into account. For Cannabis, they do — leaving it as one of the less-punished illicit drugs at the federal level, even though it’s schedule 1. And opioid painkillers, as one example, are schedule 2 but legal for medical purposes.
