US poised to ease restrictions on marijuana in historic shift, but it'll remain controlled substance

It would recognize the medical use cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some other drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana. The agency’s move was confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review.
