Trump Reclassifies Marijuana as Schedule III Drug

Trump Reclassifies Marijuana as Schedule III Drug

President Trump signed an order to change the classification of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.

This means it will be considered less dangerous and have more accepted medical uses, like drugs such as ketamine.

The change is meant to help with medical research and doesn't legalize it for fun use.

Many states already allow medical and recreational marijuana, but this change could make it easier to study and tax.

The order tells the Attorney General to speed up the process, which the previous administration had started but not finished.
