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."
