 Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge SmBEaMAN.
 S_LBE_MA_ Circuit Judge: This is a petition for review
 of a final order of the Administrator of the Drug Enforce-
 ment Administration (DEA). The order maintains the
 classification of marijuana as a narcotic drug under Sched-
 ule t of the Controlled Substances Act, 2t U.S.C, 801-996o
 Petitioners, Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics (ACT)
 and National Organization fbr the Reform for Marijuana
 Laws (NORML}, who claim that marijuana should be
 reclassified in Schedule II, argue that the DEA Adminis-
 trator's decision rests on an improper application of the
 statutory standards and an incorrect determination that_
 _)etitioners failed to meet them. We think that the Admin-
 istrator's interpretation of the statute was in the main
 acceptable, but he appears to have relied on several factors
 that are tmreasonable because logically impossible to sat-
 isfy; therefore, we remand.
