President Donald Trump has broken his silence on marijuana rescheduling, telling donors at a $1-million-a-plate fundraiser that it’s something his administration is “going to look at.” The remark is the clearest sign yet that cannabis reform is still on the table in Trump’s second term — even amid internal White House debate.
In this episode of Cannabis in 5 presented by Dutchie, host Shadd Dales breaks down exactly what was said, who was in the room — including Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers — and why this issue could fit into Trump’s broader law-and-order agenda.
We breakdown new FEC filings showing millions in industry donations to Trump-aligned PACs, the role of major players like Scotts Miracle-Gro, and why some advisors inside the West Wing are pushing for action while others warn of political risk.
Former DEA Special Operations Director Derek Maltz also weighed in on the discussion recently, outlining with a hard look at the booming illicit cannabis market, and how it ties to organized crime, and how rescheduling could shift demand into the regulated, tax-paying industry — aligning with Trump’s enforcement priorities on fentanyl, violent crime, and border security.
Plus: why DEA Administrator Terrence Cole’s priorities list isn’t necessarily bad news for reform, what executive action could mean for speeding up the process, and why claims from former press secretary Sean Spicer don’t hold much weight in 2025.
If rescheduling moves forward, it could be framed as a crime-fighting tool that boosts the legal economy, drains cartel revenue, and fulfills a campaign promise — all in one.
