Probably won't change anything overnight but it's real good to see a large group of
physicians calling for legalization. The more pressure put on the legislators the better!!

Ease off on marijuana, a national doctor group is telling the feds.

The American College of Physicians, 124,000 members strong, has issued a 13-page position paper asking the federal
government to drop marijuana from its classification as a substance considered to have no medicinal value and a high chance of abuse.

“They’ve said essentially that the federal government has it all wrong”. The ACP, which represents internists, is the largest
physician group to date to ask for such a classification change, he says.

The Sun reports that the ACP’s declaration could pressure legislators and regulators to consider pushing for the schedule change.
