"OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire and Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee have filed a petition with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration asking the agency to reclassify marijuana so doctors can prescribe it and pharmacists can fill the prescription.
The governors said Wednesday they want the federal government to list marijuana as a Schedule 2 drug, allowing it to be used for medical treatment. Marijuana is currently classified a Schedule 1 drug, meaning it's not accepted for medical treatment and can't be prescribed, administered or dispensed.
Washington and Rhode Island are two of 16 states, and the District of Columbia, that have laws allowing the medical use of marijuana."
What are the chances of that happening? I'm calling this a "maybe" with a heavy dose of "don't hold your breath" sprinkled on top. The news caught my attention this morning though because of the potential for one of my ultra-spec investments, Rapid Fire Marketing, to benefit from this.
