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.

Dear Henrie Enaje,

Greetings!

This is in reference to your previous request, asking if there have been any proceedings to reclassify or remove cannabis as a dangerous drug.

As of the moment, there are no proposals or proceedings to reclassify cannabis. Right now, it remains a prohibited substance under Republic Act No. 9165.

If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Secretary Catalino S. Cuy, CEO VI at info@ddb.gov.ph. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.

If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011).

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Rebecca Arambulo
FOI Receiving Officer
