The Coalition for Cannabis
Scheduling Reform (CCSR) recently released its comprehensive report on the federal classification
of cannabis, co-authored by Perkins Coie Cannabis industry group
co-chair Andrew Kline, with support from associate Tommy Tobin, and
edited by paralegal Hanna Barker Mullin.
CCSR makes the case in its report that marijuana is improperly
placed in the same schedule as drugs like heroin and argues that
the more appropriate options are to either remove the plant from
the list of controlled substances altogether or reschedule it to
Schedule III or below. The report outlines the scientific,
economic, legal, and social justice considerations of these options
compared to the status quo.
