Shift in Federal Drug Policy Toward Marijuana Reclassification
The Department of Justice recommended downgrading marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug alongside heroin to a less dangerous Schedule 3 drug, aligning it with prescription drugs like ketamine. This move signifies a monumental shift in federal drug policy after over 50 years of considering weed highly hazardous. The reclassification could impact criminal justice, medical research, and business sectors significantly. While not legalizing marijuana at the federal level, this change has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of marijuana regulation and usage.
