Gaetz Introduces Legislation to Reschedule Marijuana

Northwest Florida congressman Matt Gaetz introduced legislation on the House floor Thursday that would remove marijuana from the federal government’s list of Schedule I controlled substances.

Gaetz, a Republican, partnered with Central Fla. congressman Darren Soto, a Democrat, on the bipartisan bill, which Gaetz says would make it easier for ill patients and scientific and medical researchers to obtain marijuana for medical use.
