Doobie Debate Blazes: Groups Urge Trump To Reject ‘Flawed’ Weed Reclassification Push

Nearly 50 organizations signed a letter sent to President Donald Trump on Monday, urging Trump to keep Marijuana labeled as a Schedule I drug after the administration sparked fierce debate when it announced it was considering downgrading weed’s classification.
The groups — which include faith-based, law enforcement, public policy, and health care organizations — argue that downgrading marijuana’s classification would “result in serious harm to public health and safety,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Daily Wire. Trump raised eyebrows earlier this month when he said during a White House press briefing that his administration would “make a determination over the next few weeks” on whether to reclassify marijuana.
