A group of 12 Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), is urging the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Justice Department to deschedule marijuana, a move that would ease federal restrictions on the drug. 

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and John Fetterman (D-PA) penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram on Monday, suggesting that they go beyond the Health and Human Services Department’s recommendation to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.
