Marijuana industry leaders respond to federal marijuana rescheduling announcement – Greenway Magazine
Greenway Magazine featured Kat Murti in their article today after President Trump announced that he has signed an Executive Order directing the federal government to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.
Criminal justice and public health advocates acknowledged progress while underscoring unresolved issues. Kat Murti, Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, said rescheduling reflects a shift toward evidence-based policy but falls short of comprehensive reform.
“Rescheduling represents a small but meaningful step toward evidence-based drug policy,” Murti said. “It is far from legalization and will not stop arrests or repair the substantial damage caused by decades of harmful enforcement.”
Advocates from other organizations including the Cannabis Freedom Alliance, Americans for Prosperity Policy, and Law Enforcement Action Partnership gave their insights as well.
