Petition: Remove Marijuana from the drugs schedule
https://www.change.org/petitions/president-barack-obama-if-marijuana-is-safer-than-alcohol-remove-it-from-the-dea-s-schedule-of-drugs
via MPP: Recently we asked you to sign our petition to President Obama, urging him to remove marijuana from the DEAs list of scheduled drugs. More than 90,000 of you have, and now Congress is taking notice. Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) is circulating a letter he plans to send to President Obama asking him to reconsider marijuanas Schedule I status.
Please write your member of Congress and urge them to sign on to this letter.
Just yesterday the president was asked about rescheduling and said its a job for Congress. This is the same president who promised during Tuesdays State of the Union speech to take executive action when Congress stalls, as it has on marijuana for 40 years. We need as many members of Congress in our coalition as possible, so please write yours today.
