Head Of Top Federal Drug Agency Says It’s Time To Consider Decriminalization

Nora Volkow has been a notorious anti-MJ force for a long time, so it’s really interesting to see her penning an Op-Ed on decriminalizing it using the same language as the Democratic Party (racial and social justice) ahead of the release of Chuck’s MJ Bill

C’mon Chuck, let’s see your MJ Legalization/Decriminalization Bill already — all signs so far point to something resembling the STATES Act + SAFE Banking

Federally Legalize/Decriminalize MJ (for all states, it becomes exempt from being on the Schedule of Controlled Substances) so every state is free to legalize MJ without breaking any federal laws + open up national banking for MJ/Hemp/CBD

Jonathan Miller and Mitch have talked the talk with respect to CBD Legalization, and Chuck fully supports that as well, so now it’s also time to walk the walk and pass legislation removing Hemp-derived CBD from the drug exclusion clause in the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDCA), which would federally legalize CBD Products to be sold as Dietary Supplements, Beverages and Foods

Exactly how the FDA wants to regulate these products is a separate issue entirely

We already know that Enforcement Discretion is the FDA’s 1st step in regulating CBD products and giving them the federal green light to be sold nationally in major chain stores

But FDA doesn’t have the authority to pass legislation and fix the legal problem that the drug exclusion clause in the FDCA presents (Epidiolex being approved as a prescription drug makes OTC CBD Products illegal)

Congress needs to carve out an exemption for OTC CBD products, just as Congress needs to carve out an exemption in the Controlled Substances Act in order to decriminalize/legalize MJ by making it exempt from the Schedule of Controlled Substances (which is what the STATES Act does)
