Trump Eyes Marijuana Reclassification Soon
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump administration is weighing a significant policy shift that could reshape how marijuana is regulated at the federal level. Officials have confirmed that marijuana reclassification is under serious consideration, with a decision potentially coming in the next few weeks.
Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, the same category as heroin and LSD, indicating it is considered highly dangerous with no accepted medical use. Moving marijuana to Schedule III would represent the most substantial marijuana reclassification in decades. Schedule III substances, such as Tylenol with codeine and anabolic steroids, are recognized as having accepted medical uses and are subject to less restrictive regulations.
President Trump has described the decision as complex but important. "We're looking at reclassification, and we'll make a determination over the next few weeks," he said, noting that the administration hopes to make the "right" choice.
Experts explain that marijuana reclassification would not legalize the drug nationwide. However, it would have far-reaching implications, including easing restrictions for scientific research, reducing some criminal penalties, and aligning federal policy more closely with the growing number of states that have legalized cannabis in some form. Currently, 24 states and Washington, D.C., allow recreational marijuana use, while another seven have decriminalized possession, and 40 permit medical use.
