WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: remove marijuana from the DEA's schedule of drugs

[inthegorge]

Sign the petition people! With 100,000 signatures the president has to at least address the issue. This should get about 10,000,000 signatures if everyone shares the link.

Actually that is up for debate. According to US News "The 1970 Controlled Substances Act, which created five tiers of restricted drugs, says the attorney general may "remove any drug or other substance from the schedules if he finds that the drug or other substance does not meet the requirements for inclusion in any schedule." That means Obama could have Holder remove cannabis from the schedule. There is some controversy but it is possible.

DEA is the one that does the rescheduling and obama can order them to do it if he so chooses.I had this discussion with another farmer here before and thought he was correct and congress needed to intervene but since then have learned this is incorrect.Obama has been no friend to cannabis so far,his actions speak louder than his words unfortunately.
