A new petition is urging President Donald Trump not just to reschedule marijuana—but to fully legalize it at the federal level. This bold push comes from the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), which argues that moving cannabis to Schedule III still leaves criminalization intact and fails to address justice issues. Instead, DPA says only full descheduling—removing marijuana entirely from the Controlled Substances Act—will truly end prohibition.
This petition arrives at a pivotal time. The Trump administration has already suggested that a rescheduling decision could be announced within weeks. Advocates are seizing the moment, warning that incremental change won’t solve the real problems, from ongoing arrests to the IRS 280E tax burden that punishes businesses.
On this episode of TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, host Shadd Dales breaks down what this petition means, why it matters, and how it could reshape both politics and the cannabis industry. Viewers will learn how legalization could impact equity, criminal justice, and the investment landscape.
If the petition gains traction, it could shift the national debate, influence White House policy staff, and reignite legalization as a mainstream issue. But the risks remain—rescheduling is still the likely path. With public support for legalization at 88%, the political stakes are high and the outcome could reshape cannabis policy in America.
Stay tuned as TDR Cannabis in Five explores the latest moves at the intersection of politics, reform, and the cannabis marketplace.
