Washington(CNN) As part of a partnership with FactCheck.org, CNN's Jake Tapper examines a comment Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made concerning the legality of researching marijuana, a Schedule I drug.
FROM FACTCHECK.ORG:
Hillary Clinton said at a town hall meeting that "you can't do any research about" marijuana because it's a Schedule I drug. That's false. Schedule I classification makes it difficult to conduct research on a substance, but not impossible.
At the event, which aired April 21 on ABC's "Good Morning America," a voter asked the Democratic presidential candidate whether she would vote for legalizing marijuana if such a referendum question appeared on the ballot in her state. Clinton did not say how she would vote, but she said she supports marijuana research.
