## Resource

The Trump administration’s acting attorney general Todd Blanche signed an order on Thursday reclassifying FDA-approved and state-licensed medical marijuana as a less dangerous drug, placing it in the less strictly regulated Schedule III category. The move will not legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use under federal law, but instead moves state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, aligning it with dozens of states that have already legalized medical marijuana. Blanche also scheduled a hearing for June for the Drug Enforcement Administration to consider reclassifying marijuana more broadly as Schedule III. Learn more about your ad choices.
