EO Care commends the Administration’s decision to move to reclassify cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III. This decision is a watershed moment for adult Americans who currently or might benefit from the responsible use of cannabinoids, especially oncology patients and older adults. It’s a long overdue step that will reduce stigma, open doors for essential research and product development, and increase access to care for patients.
We also commend the Administration for their support of a safe and well-regulated hemp-derived cannabinoid industry. Such products already provide relief to millions and should be readily accessible to adults seeking to manage chronic pain, stress, sleep issues and cancer-related symptoms.
The rescheduling announcement and related hemp announcements will help cannabinoids find their rightful place in the practice of evidence-based medicine and eventually help enable reimbursement through employer benefit and payer plan coverage.
As the details of rescheduling and hemp policy continue to be finalized, EO is uniquely positioned to push cannabinoid-based research and care forward via the company’s personalized, clinically responsible cannabinoid guidance and data platform and via its clinically formulated cannabinoid products for pain, sleep, stress and appetite stimulation.
We look forward to continuing to serve patients and clinicians at leading hospitals and NCI-Designated Cancer Centers across the country. And we look forward to partnering closely with all relevant Federal agencies and playing a key role in the collection and analysis of detailed cannabinoid efficacy, safety and cost of care data.
