In U.S. funding for #cannabis research tilted 20-1 in favor of studying harms over benefits. (You wonder why addiction psychiatrists are so anti-cannabis -- that's where the money has always been.)
We need to change this! https://t.co/MtEjeD59oG

@tomangell Cannabis Legislation is not a party issue.

Rescheduling marijuana within the Controlled Substances Act is bad politics and bad policy.
Rescheduling is like going from treating marijuana like heroin and treating it like cocaine.
