The Growing Debate on Medical Cannabis (Cannabis Chronicles)
Cannabis Is A Schedule 1 Substance Under The Controlled Substances Act Of 1970. 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. In a petition to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to remove cannabis from Schedule I, the DEA’s own Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young ruled that cannabis did not belong in Schedule I, but the Director of the DEA rejected Judge Young’s ruling 1 (Washington, DC U.S. Department of Justice, 1988).
Doug Chin appears on Cannabis Chronicles with Marsha Joyner to discuss the growing debate between federal and state powers on medical cannabis.
