Boston Herald, 11 Jul 2016 – WASHINGTON – The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 put marijuana in the category of the nation’s most dangerous drugs, along with LSD, heroin and mescaline. That law might soon change. Suspense is mounting after the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration missed its self-imposed June 30 deadline to decide whether to reschedule the drug and recognize its potential therapeutic value. Twenty-six states already have legalized its medical use.
