In the USA the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has approached the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to access whether cannabis should finally be downgraded from a Schedule 1 drug to a lower schedule.

The FDA has twice before been asked by the DEA to make a recommendation on cannabis’ status and both times, in 2001 and 2006, it has voted to keep it Schedule 1.

Third time lucky?
