As a longtime advocate for removing cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, I will continue to work to get marijuana reclassified so that the lives upended by misguided federal prosecutions can be avoided.

Cohen commits to keep working for federal marijuana reclassification and removal from the Controlled Substances Act.

Evidence

DEA's marijuana rescheduling page says the process is still being carried out through formal rulemaking and lists a final rule for medical marijuana products plus a new hearing on broader rescheduling.

Current federal status shows partial progress, but broader removal from the Controlled Substances Act remains unfinished.

Cohen called DOJ's move "a small step in the right direction" and said, "I will continue to work to get marijuana reclassified."

Direct official statement that Cohen is still actively pursuing rescheduling, while acknowledging the federal action was only partial.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Federal marijuana rescheduling/removal has not been fully delivered: marijuana remains under the Controlled Substances Act and broader rescheduling is still in rulemaking. Cohen has continued to publicly press for reclassification, and federal action on medical marijuana represents partial progress during his current federal term, but the promised full reclassification/removal outcome is unfinished and not solely attributable to him.
