Trump Reclassifies Medical Marijuana to Schedule III Drug
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an order reclassifying state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a move long advocated by proponents. This policy shift does not federally legalize marijuana but significantly alters its regulation, allowing licensed medical marijuana operators a major tax break and easing research barriers. The Department of Justice is also expediting the broader reclassification process for marijuana, indicating a substantial federal policy change.
