(CNN) — The Drug Enforcement Agency will announce Thursday that marijuana will remain a schedule 1 drug, which declares it has "no medical use or purpose," according to a U.S. official familiar with the decision.
The announcement is in response to recent petitions asking the agency to reconsider this designation for the benefit of such research. The DEA will allow more researchers access to the plant in an effort to encourage more study, the source. said.
Since 1968 the University of Mississippi has held the only license issued by the DEA to grow marijuana for research, which is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Now more universities will be permitted to grow the plant for research.
At least 25 states and the District of Columbia have approved the use of medical marijuana for conditions ranging from epilepsy to arthritis.

Eh, they have their purpose, some drugs are really bad. But this is just ridiculous. I was really hoping this would be a turning point, but they just doubled down on a 100 year old mistake.....
There is zero evidence supporting the idea that pot is worse than cocaine and meth (both sched 2), and as bad as refined heroine (sched 1). :doh
Schedule I drugs are those that have the following characteristic according to the United States Drug Enforcement Agency:
The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical treatment use in the U.S.
There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or substance under medical supervision.
I can be open minded to the medical benefits and or medical applications of THC, but lets be honest.
Marijuana legalization has always been about recreational use and its up until recently the argument for legalization has been pushed under the pretense of its supposed Medical benefits
As for the DEA ? We need agencies and people to enforce our laws.

I wonder how much this had to do with that:

... just having a medical benefit doesn't warrant legal recreational use, I agree.

Why is it always conservatives who want laws that limit personal freedom?
Medical marijuana is very low THC and not any good for recreational use, then again what right does the government have to tell anyone they cant use it? We have police the DEA is not necessary with the exception of maybe at the boarders.
What are you afraid of?
Three questions...
What's wrong with recreational use of drugs?
What if the agency has become the reason for the law?

Its naive to think and dishonest to argue that the consequences of a addicts drug use stops with them.
It creates a string of victims from the addict out and can destroy entire communities
How about you consider the wishes and the views of EVERYONE who lives in that community, and not just the addicts ?
Marijuana isn't heroin but its legalization would still have a impact on the community and everyone who lives in that community, even those who oppose its legalization.
There's no Liberty without law and order and someone's " right " to go through life under the influence of powerful psychoactive chemical compounds doesn't supersede my right to raise my family in a Community not inundated with drugs and drug addicts
