DOPE = DOPEY? –
July 29, 2026 – The DEA should not reschedule marijuana. Evidence proves it’s unsafe. It wrapped up an 11-day hearing on whether marijuana should be rescheduled, or reclassified, as a less dangerous substance under federal law — a process that requires showing that the drug has an accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls. The evidence presented at the hearing utterly failed to support rescheduling marijuana. Rather, it confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. (William Barr’s law firm represented Kevin Sabet’s anti-marijuana organization in the hearing.)
