During debate, the arguments against it didn’t make much sense. Some were outright false: - legal argument (to take it off Schedule I to study it) doesn’t make sense - we scientific evidence to help do that! - bunch of claims about marijuana - w/o study, claims are unsupported!

This bill has bipartisan support, but it also has bipartisan opposition. Many Dem & GOP alike, are uncomfortable w/ letting federal researchers merely *study* the clinical promise of certain drugs - even in veteran PTSD. Your call can help them see a shift in public sentiment.

Veterans around the country are being helped with cannabis and replacing opioids which have long term dependency rates & mental degradation. How are “claims” unsupported? Do some research and talk to a veteran instead of trying to study mind altering drugs 🙄

We vote in representatives of the people. And the people of the USA are largely emotional with little regard for study or facts. It makes sense that the law makers representing the people are the same.

Marijuana should absolutely be removed from the Schedule I list so it can be studied. It's already being prescribed in many states for goodness' sake.
