According to the feds, marijuana is as dangerous as meth and heroin. So why does it allow states to permit its use for medicinal purposes? It will be awkward for them to overturn recreational use without also overturning laws in the same states permitting medicinal use. Once that happens, maybe then people will get pissed enough to start demanding changes at DEA.

ETA: and I realize they don't acknowledge that medicinal use is legal at all, but since they've pretty much ignored it, they've implied endorsement. They don't want to do the unpopular thing and take away a drug that makes people with terminal illness feel a little better.
