Major Shift in Federal Drug Policy Regarding Marijuana
The Department of Justice recommended to the White House to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 3 drug, acknowledging its medical benefits and lower potential for abuse. This shift marks a significant change in federal drug policy after over 50 years of considering marijuana as highly dangerous. The reclassification could have far-reaching implications in areas such as criminal justice, medical research, and business, signifying a monumental change in how marijuana is perceived and regulated at the federal level.
