𩺠Why Schedule VI? Because Patients Deserve Better. šæ
At the Georgia Medical Cannabis Society, we proudly stand with Americans for Safe Access in supporting the Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoid Act (MCCA)āa 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 reliefāthose living with chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, seizure disorders, and more. Schedule VI isnāt just a classificationāitās a commitment to medical equity and national consistency.
š Hereās why this matters:
Cannabis was placed in Schedule I based on politics, not science
Descheduling alone doesnāt guarantee access or protections
The MCCA introduces a new classificationāSchedule VIāthat finally treats cannabis as the complex therapeutic it is
š Under Schedule VI:
āļø No criminal penalties
āļø National oversight under HHS
āļø Compassionate use frameworks
āļø Safe interstate commerce
āļø Licensing without discrimination for past convictions
āļø 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 forwardātogether.
