Analysis Summary
The Trump administration reclassified state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, moving it out of the same federal category as heroin and LSD. This eases restrictions on research and aligns federal law with the 43 states that already allow medical marijuana for over 6 million registered patients. The reclassification doesn't legalize recreational marijuana or immediately change criminal penalties, but significantly loosens research barriers and federal restrictions on the $47 billion cannabis industry.
