GROUNDS FOR RESCEDULING INDUSTRIAL MJ.



The cultivation of industrial hemp under licenses issued pursuant to state law



would not violate the Controlled Substances Act (??CSA?). State law ensures



industrial hemp plants have no potential drug use and limits the parts of the



plant that may enter the stream of commerce to those expressly exempted



from regulation by the CSA, namely, hemp stalk, fiber, seed and oil.





CONCLUSION: MEDICAL MARIJUANA

The Washington State definition for a schedule I controlled substance, RCW



Schedule 1 Tests 69.50.203;



(2) Has no accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and



(3) Lacks accepted safety for use in treatment under medical supervision,



No longer applies to marijuana and state law must be amended to reflect these



Changes. The Washington State Board of Pharmacy can reschedule marijuana



Under the rules in RCW 69.50.201, but refuses to accept the fact that is has



medical use. The Board refuses to accept the will of the Washington State



people, The professional opinion of the Washington State Medical Quality



Assurance Commission, to add qualifying conditions to RCW 69.51A,



and Reschedule marijuana in the Washington State controlled Substances Act.



CONCLUSION: INDUSTRIAL MARIJUANA

Congress??s own findings and the legislative history of the CSA make clear



Congress did not intend to preclude a state-regulated regime in which only the non-



regulated parts of the hemp plant would enter commerce, and there is absolutely no



risk of diversion of drug marijuana by reason of the cultivation of the hemp plants



themselves, which are useless as drug marijuana. The DEA would be extending its



authority under the CSA into areas of interstate commerce Congress has expressly



chosen not to regulate under the CSA. In-state industrial hemp plants themselves



are in no way fungible with drug marijuana ?as no part of the industrial hemp



plant has utility as a drug. The regulated parts of industrial hemp plants could not



possibly be diverted into and ??swell? or increase the supply of drug marijuana
