Vance 28 Russel Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Chairman Michael Whatley, Co-Chair Lara Trump Republican National Committee 310 First Street SE Washington, D.C. 20003 Dear Senator Vance, Chairman Whatley, and Co-Chair Lara Trump: President Trump has recently come out in favor of marijuana legalization. This is a big mistake. It appears that you are getting bad advice and poor quality information. We are contacting you to request that marijuana NOT be rescheduled to a lesser class of drug under the Controlled Substances Act class schedules, nor moved to full legalization. For many years, significant pressure from the marijuana industry has existed to reschedule marijuana to a lesser CSA schedule so that their drug may be perceived to be safe and thus become more accessible to the public. In our professional opinions, marijuana has actually become a far more potent, toxic, and dangerous drug. No other drug with such a spectrum of problems would ever be rescheduled to a lower schedule.
