The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Justice Department are considering reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a less dangerous Schedule III drug. This move aims to acknowledge the medical benefits of cannabis without legalizing its recreational use. The Biden Administration's push for this reclassification is seen as an effort to appeal to younger voters and address social injustices. Lawmakers like Senators Schumer, Booker, and Wyden are introducing legislation to remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances and expunge low-level marijuana offenses. The proposed change is expected to benefit legal cannabis businesses, researchers, and patients in need.
