The Biden administration has announced plans to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug, alongside substances like Tylenol with codeine, anabolic steroids, and testosterone. This indicates it has medicinal value and a lower potential for abuse. Supported by the DEA and the Justice Department, this significant shift in U.S. drug policy could lead to more research opportunities and potentially aid legal cannabis businesses by possibly lowering consumer prices. The move also aims to appeal to younger voters, 60% of whom supported President Biden in the 2020 election.
