Okay, so there is some good news and bad on the weed tip. Lets get the bad news out the way. The Obama administration has just denied a request from two governors to reclassify marijuana. Marijuana will now stay a Level 1 drug meaning it will be classified with one of the most dangerous drugs such as heroine.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief Chuck Rosenberg says,
This decision isn’t based on danger. This decision is based on whether marijuana, as determined by the FDA, is a safe and effective medicine, and it’s not.
He also says that the DEA is still open to permitting legitimate scientific research of marijuana. Universities will now be able to grow Marijuana for research purposes. Before, The University of Mississippi was the only school federally allowed to grow Marijuana.
