CBD hemp oil named a Schedule I drug by DEA

Deb Stanley
DENVER -- A cannabidiol hemp oil used by some families of children with seizures has been officially named a Schedule I drug by the DEA.

"Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse," the DEA says on its website.

That puts the oil in the same category as heroin, LSD, ecstasy, meth, peyote and marijuana.

The DEA published the details about the change in the Federal Register.

It applies to any "extract containing one or more cannabinoids that has been derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis," the Federal Register posting said.

The change explains that the DEA is creating a new Administrative Controlled Substances Code Number for what it calls "Marihuana [sic] Extract."

During the comment period for the new rule, one person asked for clarification of whether the new drug code would be applicable to cannabidiol (CBD).

The DEA responded to say any cannabis plant extract that contains CBD and no other cannabinoids will still fall within the new drug code.

Will never understand why alcohol is legal and THC is not.

I mean, I get the politics of it but logically it makes no sense.
 
Perhaps it's because the "right people" aren't/wouldn't be making the money from it being legal.

That's exactly right and those people (folks who make money off alcohol) will lose money. They have a monopoly on legal drugs now. Weed cuts into their profit because high folks don't drink a lot.
 
It's all about funding. If they admit pot has medicinal value in any way shape or form they risk the sweet sweet racket they got going on. Wanting to save your kids life is no reason to break the arbitrary rules set forth by the mighty DEA. They know what's best, and what's best is these kids dying so they can.continue getting the funding they need to mass incarcerate poor people.
