US Cannabis Policy, MAJOR U.S. CANNABIS POLICY SHIFT
DECADES IN THE MAKING
The U.S. has taken its biggest step on cannabis in over 50 years.
President Trump has signed an executive order to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I → Schedule III, officially recognizing medical use and opening the door to wider research, CBD access, and regulatory reform.
📊 Why this matters:
- Cannabis will no longer sit alongside drugs like 💉 and L$.D under federal law
- 40+ U.S. states already allow medical 🍃 federal policy is finally catching up
- Millions of registered patients could benefit from expanded medical research & access
- 🍃 businesses may see lower tax pressure and better access to banking
- A CBD Medicare pilot is expected to launch, targeting patient access especially for seniors
⚠️ Important:
This is not full federal legalisation.
Recreational 🍃 remains illegal at the federal level, and criminal justice reform is still unresolved.
