Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to move cannabis and its synthetic and natural derivatives from Schedule I to Schedule III.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to move cannabis and its natural and synthetic derivatives from Schedule I to Schedule III of the controlled substances list. Schedule I substances are considered to have a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use, while Schedule III substances have a lower potential for abuse and a currently accepted medical use. This change would reclassify cannabis, effectively acknowledging its potential medical use and reducing its perceived risk compared to Schedule I drugs.
