Results: Democrats urge Biden administration to deschedule marijuana

Senate Democrats are putting new pressure on the Biden administration to ease federal restrictions on marijuana in a new letter to the Drug Enforcement Administration on Tuesday as it considers rescheduling cannabis after it was federally classified more than five decades ago. Since 1971, cannabis has been under Schedule I, the highest classification of the CSA, along with drugs like heroin and LSD, which the government formally considers to have high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Do you think federal restrictions on marijuana need to be eased?

Even so, 40 states and Washington, D.C., have legalized some form of cannabis, for either recreational or medical use and it is legal federally in Canada. Do you use cannabis products?

The White House had hoped to make a rescheduling announcement close to the one-year mark since President Joe Biden ordered the DEA to review HHS' recommendation in October 2022 and to use it as a campaign issue at the ballot box in November, according to five sources with knowledge of the situation. In Canada, marijuana became legal in 2018 as it was one of Trudeau's campaign promises, and many think that led to him being voted as Prime Minister. Do you think Biden using legal marijuana as a campaign issue could lead to him winning the 2024 election?
