Trump Proposes Major Changes to US Ma.riju.ana Regulations

Trump Considers Reclassifying Marijuana
President Donald Trump confirmed on August 11 that his administration is reviewing whether to reclassify marijuana under federal law. The move could mark the biggest shift in U.S. cannabis policy in over 50 years.

“We’re looking at reclassification and will make a determination over the next few weeks,” Trump told reporters. He noted the benefits of medical marijuana but warned about “bad things having to do with just about everything else.”

Current Federal Status
Marijuana is currently a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin, LSD, and ecstasy. Trump described these substances as having “no currently accepted medical use” and a high potential for abuse.

Reclassifying marijuana to Schedule III would place it with ketamine, anabolic steroids, and Tylenol with codeine. These drugs carry lower risks of dependence, and research on them requires fewer approvals. Schedule I studies demand special DEA registration, while Schedule III studies can proceed with a standard license.
