Die Kommission ist befugt, die in Artikel 264 genannten delegierten Rechtsakte zu folgenden Zwecken zu erlassen: Twenty Democratic lawmakers are urging the Drug Enforcement Administration to quickly remove marijuana from the federal government’s list of controlled substances, where it is currently classified in the same category as heroin. The lawmakers believe that, despite its widespread use and lower negative effects compared to alcohol, marijuana is still placed in the most restrictive category. They expressed their concerns in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram. This positioning results in a series of harsh consequences for individuals and businesses involved in marijuana, such as criminal records, immigration issues, job prospects, taxes, healthcare access, public housing eligibility, social service provision, and additional repercussions. Lawmakers are calling on the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to take action. The letter was spearheaded by Senators and was initially covered by HuffPost. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, along with representatives. Die Entschließung wurde vom Repräsentantenhaus gebilligt. One and a half years after President Joe Biden initiated a review of marijuana’s classification as a scheduled drug, and nearly eight months after the Department of Health and Human Services proposed moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, progress towards decriminalizing its use has been sluggish despite Biden’s campaign promise. In October 2022, Biden instructed the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to examine the federal classification of marijuana.
