The DOJ has officially moved to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The Justice Department submitted a proposal today to shift cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, acknowledging its medical uses and lower potential for abuse. This historic shift doesn't make marijuana legal nationwide, but it significantly reduces federal restrictions and opens the door for massive medical research and tax breaks for the industry.

Trump signed an executive order to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug: - Cannabis is currently Schedule I drug, same as heroin and LSD. This would move it to a Schedule III drug, putting it in same group as some common prescription painkillers - Does NOT legalize marijuana nationwide, but could lead to easier medical access, fewer legal gray areas for consumers & businesses - White House stresses this removes barriers to research marijuana, especially around its potential to treat chronic pain and other conditions.

A glaring inconsistency. The Trump administration is fighting a shooting war against drug traffickers in the Caribbean, while at the same time easing federal restrictions on marijuana. The science and data on the harms of marijuana have never been clearer. As Luke Niforatos points out, “over 50,000 research studies have been done.” The potency of marijuana today is “unequivocally much more dangerous than it's ever been.”

BREAKING: President Biden and Vice President Harris have just announced that they are formally moving to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug, instead a Schedule I drug Biden: “No one should be in jail merely for using or possessing marijuana. Period.” Harris: “Currently marijuana is classified on the same level as heroin and more dangerous as fentanyl. We are finally changing that.” Everyone in America should agree to this. There are far too many people locked away in prison as our taxpayer dollars are being used to pay for their incarceration, merely for possessing marijuana. States should follow suit and these people should be released.
