HHS Calls for Reclassifying Cannabis to Recognize Medical Use

HHS Recommends Reclassifying Cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule II

In a significant move that could potentially alter the landscape of federal drug policy, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has recommended reclassifying cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule II substance. This revelation comes as documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request have shed light on the HHS’s stance on the matter. The proposed reclassification recognizes the medicinal utility of cannabis, an acknowledgment that could have far-reaching implications.
