President Barack Obama in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, airing Friday said it is up to Congress to decide whether marijuana should continue to be classified as a Schedule I narcotic.
“What is and isn’t a Schedule I narcotic is a job for Congress,” Obama said when Tapper asked if he was “considering not making marijuana a Schedule I narcotic.”
“I think it’s the DEA that decides that,” Tapper interjected.
“It’s not something by ourselves that we start changing.
No, there are laws undergirding those determinations,” the president responded.
