 THIS CASE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR ORAL ARGUMENT ON MARCH 19, 2002
On July 10, 1995, Jon Gettman petitioned the DEA to initiate proceedings for the repeal of rules placing marijuana in Schedule I, tetrahydrocannabinols in Schedule I, Dronabinol in Schedule II, and Naboline in Schedule II.
Gettman raises issues of science and medicine which have not been evaluated by the Department of Health and Human Resources as part of a scheduling action to date.
In denying Gettman’s petition to remove marijuana from Schedule I, the DEA and HHS’s fundamental error was their failure to evaluate marijuana’s relative abuse potential as compared to other scheduled substances, as required by 21 U.S.C. §812(b).

Although NORML first filed suit against the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in 1972, and Gettman, as head of NORML for part of that time, participated in that lawsuit, its twenty-year odyssey through bureaucratic purgatory ended in failure.
In 1995, Gettman filed a new petition asking the DEA to to reschedule marijuana because it did not fit the three criteria required to make it a Schedule I drug -- high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use, and no safe means of medical use.
The DEA determination that marijuana has a high potential for abuse was without factual support and flawed by its failure to evaluate marijuana's relative potential for abuse compared to other drugs.

He is a public policy Ph.D. and has knowledge of the federal regulatory process and the scientific criteria used to schedule controlled substances.
Gettman provided me with an abundance of data concerning how drugs are scheduled, what has to be done to reschedule a drug, ideas of how legal marijuana could be produced and distributed, and much more.
I found it very interesting that when marijuana was originally scheduled in 1970 as a schedule I controlled substance, it was placed there pending scientific evidence that it did not have a high potential for abuse and had medical applications.
