.SenWarren, SenSanders, SenMarkey, SenGillibrand, RonWyden, and SenBooker argue the Biden administration's 'failure to coordinate a timely review of its cannabis policy is harming thousands of Americans.'
Wednesday that the Biden administration's"failure to coordinate a timely review of its cannabis policy is harming thousands of Americans, slowing research, and depriving Americans of their ability to use marijuana for medical or other purposes."
Booker and Warren last year called on the U.S. Department of Justice to use its existing authority to begin the process of removing cannabis from the list of Schedule I drugs. Under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 , the DOJ has the power"to begin the descheduling process and act independently of an HHS determination," the letter emphasizes, adding that"it is obvious that cannabis has widely accepted medical benefits, affirmed by medical and scientific communities both here and across the globe."
While campaigning for the White House,"President Biden committed to decriminalize the use of cannabis and automatically expunge all prior cannabis use convictions, and he also acknowledged the importance of removing cannabis from its current classification under the CSA as a Schedule I substance," the letter highlights.
