NORML's recent submission of public comments to the DEA, advocating for the removal of cannabis from Schedule I, marks a significant step in the ongoing fight for cannabis reform. The organization highlights the growing body of scientific evidence and the broad public support for cannabis legalization. This move underscores the urgent need to reevaluate outdated policies that hinder medical research, criminalize non-violent behavior, and disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
