Sanjay Gupta Instagram – The DOJ is moving to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. Schedule I substances are considered to have no accepted medical use and to be the highest risk. This move would make clear that neither of those things are true in the case of cannabis. One of the biggest impacts of rescheduling could be making necessary research easier. It is very hard to conduct research on a Schedule 1 substance. When I visited Ole Miss in 2013 for one of our seven documentaries on the topic, it was the only farm in the US growing research-grade cannabis. Scientists often complained they couldn’t even obtain cannabis to start their research projects. More research could help patients like Charlotte Figi. She was a young girl who had intractable seizures that could only be tamed by CBD oil. We’ve known for some time that there can be medicinal use for cannabis and the legislation is starting to catch up. | Posted on 06/May/2024 07:57:16
