Remove the schedule 1 narcotic designation for marijuana

Created by S.H. on January 19, 2013

This is a petition to remove the schedule 1 narcotic designation for marijuana according to the Controlled Substances Act for the United States. This designation states that narcotics under this label:
1. The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
2. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
3. There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
Except as specifically authorized, it is illegal for any person:
1. to manufacture, distribute, or dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense, a controlled substance; or
2. to create, distribute, or dispense, or possess with intent to distribute or dispense, a counterfeit substance.
