Rescheduling Marijuana to Schedule III would boost corporate profits and could expand some research, but would maintain criminalization, harmful enforcement, and barriers to health and safety.
The federal government is gutting lifesaving health solutions to address overdose and addiction. This includes massive cuts to Medicaid, the largest funder of addiction treatment. And cuts to the CDC and SAMHSA, which have provided people nationwide with services that save lives such as naloxone, fentanyl test strips, addiction treatment, recovery supports, and so much more. And Congress could make even more cuts to these critical agencies soon. At the same time, the administration is killing people abroad. Unauthorized U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific have continued, killing a total of at least 83 people. Officials have invoked the overdose crisis to justify these deaths, yet fentanyl is not produced in Venezuela. These illegal killings mark a dangerous expansion of the drug war, where drugs are used as a pretext for reckless violence, threatening the safety of us all. Our response must be clear and collective: Urge Congress to restore lifesaving health services and stop killing people. Join us, parents who lost children to overdose, anti-war and human right advocates by taking action today.
