Publicly recognize that cannabis contains compounds that have medical applications, as described in patent 6630507

Cannabis has been classified as a schedule one drug. One key requirement to be classified a schedule one drug is that it has no currently accepted medical use in the United States. Patent number 6630507, awarded in 2003 to the United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services, clearly states that studies show that cannabinoids (which are found in cannabis) have medical benefits. Do what is logical; declassify cannabis as a schedule one drug, and allow medical studies to be carried out.
