Jeff Sessions Sued By Medical Marijuana Patients Over Controlled Substances Act

Christine Rousselle / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Several people, including a retired NFL player, a young girl with severe epilepsy, and a disabled veteran, have filed suit against Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Department of Justice alleging that the Controlled Substances Act is unconstitutional. The plaintiffs say that listing marijuana as a "Schedule I" drug--meaning that it has no accepted medicinal use and a high potential for abuse--is "irrational" and the federal government is aware that the system is flawed. A majority of U.S. states have legalized some form of marijuana to treat a variety of illnesses.

For comparison's sake, marijuana is classified on the same level as heroin and LSD and on a higher level than cocaine and meth. Cocaine and meth are classified as "Schedule II" drugs, meaning that the government thinks that marijuana is more dangerous than drugs that killed over 9,000 people in 2016.

“Classifying cannabis as a ‘Schedule I drug’ is so irrational that it violates the U.S. Constitution,” the suit says. Meth and cocaine are schedule II drugs and thus considered more benign than marijuana under the law.

McCain makes dramatic return to Senate for health vote, condemns 'tribal' politics 

By Brooke Singman /  Fox News Politics

Sen. John McCain returned to the Senate Tuesday afternoon for the first time since his brain cancer diagnosis, delivering powerful remarks from the floor addressing the need for bipartisanship amid the gridlock facing the chamber. 

McCain, R-Ariz., returned to help GOP colleagues advance their health care bill. As he arrived, he was greeted by a round of applause and hugs from his fellow senators.

“Make no mistake, my service here is the most important job I have had in my life. And I am so grateful to the people of Arizona for the privilege—for the honor—of serving here and the opportunities it gives me to play a small role in the history of the country I love,” McCain said, acknowledging senators he’s “known and admired.” “But they knew that however sharp and heartfelt their disputes, however keen their ambitions, they had an obligation to work collaboratively to ensure the Senate discharged its constitutional responsibilities effectively.”

But McCain stressed that the Senate’s deliberations are “more partisan, more tribal” than any time he remembers.
