Episode notes
Marijuana could soon be legally considered a lower-risk drug. Right now, the Drug Enforcement Agency classifies marijuana as a schedule I drug. Those are considered the most addictive and dangerous – like heroin and ecstasy. The Associated Press reports that the DEA will move to reclassify the drug to Schedule III--alongside Ketamine and Tylenol with codeine, which the DEA considers as drugs with a lower risk of abuse. Dawn Blagrove of Emancipate NC believes it’s the right move. Blagrove joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the potential move by the DEA.
