DEA Proposes Reclassification of Marijuana
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is considering a historic shift in reclassifying marijuana, recognizing its medical use and lower potential for abuse.
Key Points:
- Recognition of Medical Use: The proposal acknowledges the therapeutic benefits of cannabis.
- Reduced Abuse Potential: Marijuana is seen as less dangerous compared to other controlled substances.
This move by the DEA marks a significant milestone in the evolving attitudes towards marijuana and could have implications for future policies and regulations.
