Urges Congress to deschedule marijuana as Schedule 1 controlled substance under federal "Controlled Substances Act."

This New Jersey Assembly resolution urges Congress to remove marijuana from Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act, which currently classifies it as having "no accepted medical use" despite state legalization. It directly affects New Jersey residents and businesses by highlighting how federal Schedule I status prevents medical marijuana from being covered by health insurance, forces dispensaries to handle large cash amounts (increasing crime risks), and blocks banking access. The resolution cites state laws like the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act as evidence of marijuana's accepted medical value, conflicting with federal policy. As a non-binding resolution, it requests Congress take action but does not change federal law itself.
