Bernie Sanders' plan to legalize marijuana is more complicated than it seems
Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., addresses the media outside the Olde Walkersville Pharmacy, Sunday, July 28, 2019, in Windsor, Ont.
Sanders has long supported federal marijuana reform, describing its classification as a Schedule I substance alongside heroin as"insane." "The president would have to use the order to direct his Attorney General to start the process, [and] the Attorney General then makes the request to the Department of Health and Human Services to undergo a review on whether or not the substance belongs on the list of scheduled substances," said Erik Altieri, executive director of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, a cannabis advocacy group.
Historically, federal agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration have maintained that marijuana belongs in the Schedule I category. But the nation's top law enforcement officer may not necessarily have to follow their guidance.
