Trump Considers Reclassifying Marijuana as Schedule III Drug

Trump Considers Reclassifying Marijuana as Schedule III Drug

President Trump is thinking about changing the rules for marijuana.

Right now, it's in the same category as very dangerous drugs like heroin.

He wants to move it to a category with less strict rules, like some painkillers.

This doesn't mean marijuana will be legal everywhere, but it could make it easier for scientists to study and for businesses to sell.

Some people, like House Speaker Mike Johnson, are not sure this is a good idea.

They think marijuana can be harmful, especially to kids.

But others, like people who work in the marijuana industry, think it's a good change.

The final decision hasn't been made yet.
