The rescheduling of cannabis is stirring up significant debate throughout the U.S., particularly among Pennsylvania patients. In this blog, Compassionate Certification Centers outlines how the rescheduling from Schedule I to Schedule III will affect medical cannabis patients, and what to expect. The federal rescheduling of cannabis is a major legal change but Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program is still governed by state law, so patients will still require a medical marijuana card and adhere to state rules.
The main advantage of rescheduling is the decrease in federal legal liability. Medical marijuana would no longer be lumped in with substances that have no medical use, providing greater protection for patients and promoting greater acceptance in the medical community.
The blog also explains how company policies may evolve, but drug testing and company policies might still be enforced in some workplaces. And rescheduling may lead to better research, better advice from doctors about treatment options, and more qualifying conditions for medical cannabis in the future.
In 2016, the U.S. government has already started to reschedule state-legal medical cannabis into Schedule III, a significant milestone in federal law.
All in all, this article offers a step-by-step overview of the implications of cannabis rescheduling for Pennsylvania patients, debunking myths and giving people the facts about ever-changing medical marijuana legislation.
