Quote:The federal government reconfirmed Thursday that it believes there is insufficient evidence to show that marijuana’s “known risks” outweigh any “specific benefits” its use might offer. The Drug Enforcement Administration concluded that weed has no “currently accepted medical use’” because its “chemistry is not known and reproducible; there are no adequate safety studies; there are no adequate and well-controlled studies proving efficacy; the drug is not accepted by qualified experts; and the scientific evidence is not widely available.”Unbelievable. So the DEA isn't going to reschedule marijuana because there are no adequate safety studies, but the Schedule I classification makes it almost impossible to conduct adequate safety studies.
