U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Republican member of the Florida legislature, spoke with Fox News Tuesday night about his bill targeting the reclassification of marijuana within the Controlled Substance Act (CSA).
House Bill 2020 (H.R. 2020), introduced on April 6, 2017, by Congressman Gaetz, seeks to reschedule marijuana within the CSA as a Schedule III narcotic – and would make marijuana analogous to Tylenol.
The Florida Congressman, an early and ardent supporter of medical marijuana in the Sunshine State, was asked by Lisa “Kennedy” about his ongoing effort to reclassify marijuana at the federal level – and expanding medical marijuana research.
After noting that he was excited to “come on and talk about guns and weed,” Gaetz told Kennedy his proposed legislation would dramatically increase research and would prohibit the federal government from blocking future cannabis studies.
