đ©ș Why Schedule VI? Because Patients Deserve Better. đż
At the Georgia Medical Cannabis Society, we proudly stand with Americans for Safe Access in supporting the Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoid Act (MCCA)âa strategic step forward in protecting patients and formally recognizing cannabis as a legitimate form of medicine.
Far too many policies overlook the actual people who rely on cannabis for reliefâthose living with chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, seizure disorders, and more. Schedule VI isnât just a classificationâitâs a commitment to medical equity and national consistency.
đ Hereâs why this matters:
Cannabis was placed in Schedule I based on politics, not science
Descheduling alone doesnât guarantee access or protections
The MCCA introduces a new classificationâSchedule VIâthat finally treats cannabis as the complex therapeutic it is
đ Under Schedule VI:
âïž No criminal penalties
âïž National oversight under HHS
âïž Compassionate use frameworks
âïž Safe interstate commerce
âïž Licensing without discrimination for past convictions
âïž Patient protections aligned with ADA standards
We support solutions rooted in science, centered on patients, and built for long-term reform. Schedule VI does just that. This is how we move forwardâtogether.
