By narrowly applying the change to FDA-approved medical products and state-licensed operations, the administration creates a paper trail of progress without addressing core injustices. Tax breaks now allow large players to deduct business expenses previously barred to drug traffickers, boosting stock markets and profits. Yet small businesses, past offenders, and recreational users remain untouched. The DEA administrator, a political appointee, still holds ultimate power. Hemp-derived products will soon be reclassified as marijuana, further harming small hemp farmers. This isn’t reform—it’s a calculated shuffle that preserves prohibition’s framework while pretending to move forward. True change would require removing cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, expunging records, and letting states build a legitimate market free from a 50-year-old political mistake.
