Hi! Pursuant to Section 93 of Article XI of Republic Act 9165, The Board shall have the power to reclassify, add to or remove from the list of dangerous drugs. May I know if there has been any proceedings to reclassify or remove cannabis as a dangerous drug, either initiated by PDEA, DOH or petitioned by any interested party? If yes, may I have copies of all relevant documents on the proceedings? Thanks.
