Trump reclassifies state-licensed medical marijuana as a less-dangerous drug in a historic shift
""This rescheduling action allows for research on the safety and efficacy of this substance, ultimately providing patients with better care and doctors with more reliable information.""
""The Department of Justice was delivering on President Trump's promise to expand Americans' access to medical treatment options.""
The reclassification of state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III marks a significant policy change, allowing for less stringent regulation. This shift does not legalize marijuana but facilitates research and provides tax benefits for licensed operators. The Department of Justice aims to enhance access to medical treatment options. The new order legitimizes medical marijuana programs in 40 states and establishes a streamlined registration process for producers and distributors with the DEA, while protecting researchers from penalties related to state-licensed cannabis.
