White House applauds marijuana classification shift away from 'same level as heroin'

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated the declassification of marijuana Thursday, as it will no longer be a Schedule I drug with heroin and LSD.

“So currently, marijuana is classified on the same level as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl,” Harris said in a video. “We are finally changing that. I want to thank all of the advocates and everyone out there for helping to make this possible, and we are on the road to getting it done.”
