President Trump reclassified marijuana this week. Marijuana was a Schedule one drug, formerly in the same category as drugs like heroin and ecstasy. Now, its classification is comparable to Tylenol with codeine and testosterone.

Trump Signs ‘Common Sense’ Order Changing Marijuana’s Legal Status

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Trump Signs ‘Common Sense’ Order Changing Marijuana’s Legal Status

President Trump on Thursday delivered the biggest federal policy win yet for marijuana reform advocates in signing a “common sense” order to no longer classify the drug as serious as heroin and LSD.

The landmark action will move pot from “Schedule I,” the most restrictive Controlled Substance Act designation for drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value, to Schedule III alongside ketamine — but the change stops short of full legalization.

Breaking trump signs executive order to reclassify downgrade marijuana into.jpg

#BREAKING: Trump signs executive order to reclassify, downgrade marijuana into schedule 3 drug

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on #BREAKING: Trump signs executive order to reclassify, downgrade marijuana into schedule 3 drug

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that would reschedule marijuana to have fewer restrictions after decades of being classified as one of the most dangerous drugs.

“I’m pleased to announce that I will be signing an Executive Order to reschedule marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance with legitimate medical uses,” Trump said while surrounded by medical professionals supporting his decision.

“I want to emphasize that the order I am about to sign is not the legalization [of] marijuana in any way, shape, or form — and in no way sanctions its use as a recreational drug… It’s never safe to use powerful controlled substances in recreational manners,” he explained.

Reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug means it has a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Tylenol with codeine, ketamine, anabolic steroids and testosterone are also Schedule III, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Rescheduling a drug isn’t something a president can do unilaterally. The legal process ends with final approval from the DEA, which is where things could get tricky within the Trump administration.

Did Trump just legalize marijuana? What to know

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Did Trump just legalize marijuana? What to know

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that reclassifies marijuana as a Schedule III drug. It was previously a Class I drug, which is in the same category as heroin and LSD.

By doing so, the federal government now recognizes that marijuana has a “moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.” The signing itself does not fully make marijuana use legal, but it could continue the process of legalizing the drug.
