Ask President Trump to Oppose The Reclassification of High Potency Pot

Various news outlets, including The Hill, report that the Trump Administration is “looking at” reclassifying marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) from a Schedule I drug to Schedule III. Such a move would label it as less dangerous and recognize it as having a “moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence,” placing it alongside drugs like ketamine, Tylenol with codeine, and anabolic steroids.

This is especially alarming given that daily marijuana use in America now surpasses daily alcohol consumption. Many of us have seen firsthand how alcoholism has devastated families and communities—and now we face the growing evidence that high-potency marijuana brings its own physical, psychological, and addictive hazards.
