July 10, 1995 – Second Petition to Reschedule Marijuana Filed

Jon Gettman, former National Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), files a legal challenge to marijuana’s Schedule I prohibited status with the support of High Times Magazine. The 275-page petition is filed with the DEA and requests that they remove marijuana and THC from schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act because neither has the high potential for abuse required under the law for this prohibited status.
