Rep. Earl Blumenauer and Sen. Ron Wyden have welcomed a proposed change in the federal status of marijuana as a drug with no acceptable medical use.
The Drug Enforcement Administration has proposed a shift of cannabis from Schedule 1 — which includes LSD and heroin — to Schedule 3, a step that would classify it with other drugs considered as having moderate to low potential for physical and psychological abuse. Among them: Tylenol with codeine, ketamine, steroids and testosterone.
