Correa Applauds Reclassification of State-licensed Medical Marijuana

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) released the following statement in response to the Department of Justice reclassifying state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III on the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) today after President Donald Trump issued an executive order last December to expedite the process: “ I’ve spoken to countless veterans in Orange County who use marijuana to relieve PTSD symptoms. “ With the Administration moving to reclassify cannabis as Schedule III, my colleagues should join me in considering smart, evidence-based policy that supports the well-being of those who risked their lives in service to our country. “ Thank you, President Trump for this announcement. “ I am ready to work with Republicans and Democrats to get this done .” ### Print Email Share Tweet
