US moves to reclassify marijuana in historic shift
BBC News: Kevin McMunigal, professor of law, discussed the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s plans to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a historic shift in American drug policy. “It would have a symbolic impact,” he said. “State legislators might start thinking about it. In the past it was deemed very tough for a state to deregulate when the federal government still makes it a serious crime.”
