Meanwhile a senior policy adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton applauded the progress made on the research end — and said Clinton will reschedule marijuana if she’s elected in November.

“We applaud the steps taken today by the Obama Administration to remove research barriers that have significantly limited the scientific study of marijuana,” Maya Harris, a senior policy advisor to Clinton’s campaign, said in a statement. “Marijuana is already being used for medical purposes in states across the country, and it has the potential for even further medical use. As Hillary Clinton has said throughout this campaign, we should make it easier to study marijuana so that we can better understand its potential benefits, as well as its side effects.

“As president, Hillary will build on the important steps announced today by rescheduling marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule II substance. She will also ensure Colorado, and other states that have enacted marijuana laws, can continue to serve as laboratories of democracy.”

State government representatives from both of the 420-legal states in the Pacific Northwest said they had hoped for more out of the DEA’s announcement.

“For Oregon, the DEA’s decision only went half the distance,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said in a statement on Thursday. “Broadening cannabis research beyond the National Institute on Drug Abuse is an important and necessary step. However, lack of federal guidance on banking and environmental issues has put Oregonians at risk, and today’s decision didn’t address those concerns, as we’d hoped.

“The DEA’s decision shortsightedly focuses on the technical, not practical, aspects of marijuana regulation. This makes it more difficult for states that have legalized marijuana use, or who are poised to, to proceed lawfully and safely.”

“This decision doesn’t go far enough and is further evidence that the DEA doesn’t get it,” Blumenauer said in a statement. “Keeping marijuana at Schedule I continues an outdated, failed approach — leaving patients and marijuana businesses trapped between state and federal laws. This decision does not address other key concerns like the need for banking services and tax equity for small businesses, operating legally in half the states. It’s not right or fair.”

Blumenauer referenced the American public’s desire for legalization and said marijuana should be descheduled entirely.

“Marijuana shouldn’t be listed as Schedule I,” Blumenauer said. “It shouldn’t be listed at all.”

Some of Blumenauer’s colleagues in the House agreed that the DEA hadn’t gone far enough.

“The Drug Enforcement Administration’s decision to keep marijuana as a Schedule I drug is frustrating, unscientific, and, frankly, out of touch,” U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a Democrat from Colorado, told The Cannabist via email. “It is ridiculous to classify marijuana alongside other Schedule I drugs like heroin. This is further evidence that it is past time that Congress legalize and regulate marijuana like alcohol, using Colorado as an example.”

“The big positive news is that the DEA also announced that they will now let universities grow and research marijuana beyond the Ole Miss-(National Institute on Drug Abuse) monopoly. This is a huge opportunity for (Colorado State University)-Pueblo’s Cannabis Studies Institute. We all know that the first patent off cannabis will be worth billions to a community. We’re already first in time at CSU-Pueblo on the research end, and this new decision can really be an asset for our university.”

Pace later called back with a prediction on the future of marijuana scheduling in America.

“I still predict that lame-duck Obama will deschedule marijuana after the November election through an executive order,” Pace said.

Chuck Rosenberg was appointed Acting Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on May 13, 2015 by Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Prior to joining DEA, Mr. Rosenberg served as the chief of staff and senior counselor to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

nope.

“Would Christie make a good attorney general in a Donald Trump administration?” conservative radio host Howie Carr of The Howie Carr Show asked the real estate mogul on Tuesday.

“I think he’d make a great attorney general. He’s a very talented guy. We haven’t even discussed that,” Trump responded.
