10 Reasons to Oppose High Potency Marijuana Rescheduling

Illinois Family Institute continues to highlight overwhelming evidence of the costs and consequences of legal high-potency marijuana, but too many of us are either dismissing or ignoring the ramifications. We simply do not understand what this policy means for families, communities, schools, workplaces, and roadways. And many who have lost loved ones to addiction or worse know all too well.

Marijuana has been a Schedule I Drug since 1971 when THC levels in the drug were at 1-3 percent. Even back then, it was widely understood that there were no medical benefits and the potential of addiction was high. The Biden Administration wants marijuana reclassified as a Schedule III drug, which would designate it as having medical benefits. Needless to say, this move will allow the marijuana business to flourish.
