A US health official proposes Schedule I for marijuana as a stopgap

While the Controlled Substances Act was being drafted, Assistant Secretary of Health Roger Egeberg recommended placing marijuana in Schedule I temporarily, until the commission the Act created had reported. The commission recommended decriminalisation in 1972; the classification was not changed.[1]
