The Biden administration began reviewing cannabis classification in October 2022, resulting in a recommendation to move it from Schedule I to Schedule III by August 2023. The DEA proposed this reclassification in May 2024, following recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services. Concurrently, Biden pardoned thousands convicted of marijuana charges. Trump is now attempting to claim credit for this policy shift, aiming to attract younger voters ahead of the midterm elections, as GOP operative Roger Stone emphasized the need to leverage cannabis for electoral gains.
