Reevaluating Cannabis Classification

This chapter critiques the current drug scheduling system, particularly the classification of cannabis alongside more harmful substances like heroin. Advocates call for a reassessment to better align regulations with scientific evidence, proposing a reclassification of cannabis to Schedule 3. The chapter also explores personal experiences with cannabis in everyday life, contrasting its regulation with that of alcohol and tobacco while highlighting the challenges of ensuring product safety in a fragmented state-by-state regulatory environment.
