U.S. Senators, including Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA), Senator Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer), and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (@gillibrandny), have joined forces to urge the DEA to deschedule marijuana, removing it from Schedule I of the CSA. They emphasize the need to legalize marijuana and address the injustices of the criminal justice system. Representative Jerry Nadler (@RepJerryNadler) also voiced support for descheduling marijuana. The push for federal legislative change comes amid concerns voiced by Dicus, highlighted by @ReaganWorld, that California's Proposition 64 has led to increased black market activities. The cannabis investment vehicle $MSOS is also mentioned in the context of the descheduling discussion.
I'm fighting to legalize and deschedule marijuana entirely. It is long past time! https://t.co/HWArwyqLsa
It’s time to legalize marijuana nationwide and begin repairing the harms of an unjust criminal justice system. @SenFettermanPA, @SenSchumer & many other Senate Dems & I are calling on the Drug Enforcement Administration to end the federal ban on marijuana.https://t.co/ka93FTRXgL
Proud to join my colleagues @SenWarren, @SenSchumer, and others to push for the full descheduling of marijuana. We need to remove marijuana from Schedule I and legalize it. End the failed “War on Drugs” once and for all. https://t.co/dp4t3CgSp6
“The case for removing marijuana from Schedule I is overwhelming. The DEA should do so by removing cannabis from the CSA altogether, rather than simply placing it in a lower schedule,” the senators wrote in the letter," $MSOS https://t.co/okcoQHzo6u
“The reality is Proposition 64, took illicit marijuana and moved it from a felony to a misdemeanor," Dicus said. "The reality of this is by allowing that, we have unleashed a plague here in California. The plague is the black market or marijuana and certainly cartel activity."
It’s past time we deschedule—not reschedule—marijuana at the federal level. https://t.co/B1ioYFFl0d
