A major move just happened in Washington—and it could confirm that cannabis rescheduling is closer than ever.

Congressional lawmakers have officially approved a GOP-backed spending bill that would block the Department of Justice from using funds to reschedule or deschedule marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act.

On the surface, this looks like a setback. But here’s why it’s actually huge news:

House Republicans wouldn’t be pushing this rider unless they believed an announcement on cannabis rescheduling was imminent.

And just last week, President Donald Trump, in a private meeting with two House lawmakers, said:
“We’ll be moving forward soon with rescheduling marijuana.”

That’s Trump’s first public or private acknowledgment on cannabis reform this year—and it adds political momentum as the Senate prepares to confirm Terrence Cole as the new DEA Administrator. Cole has already said rescheduling marijuana would be one of his top priorities.

If marijuana moves to Schedule III, it would:
• Legalize prescription use of FDA-approved cannabis medicines nationwide
• Provide medical cannabis businesses federal tax relief by eliminating 280E restrictions
• Offer patients and state-compliant operators new legal protections

So the big question is—will the DEA act before Congress can tie its hands with this funding ban, or will this turn into a full-on political showdown ahead of the 2026 elections?

Stay tuned.
