President Donald Trump signed an executive order reclassifying marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, aligning it with drugs like ketamine and anabolic steroids. The reclassification aims to ease federal restrictions and make clinical research and studies on marijuana easier to conduct. The order does not legalize marijuana federally but could allow federal tax relief for businesses in states that have legalized it. Trump cited patients with extreme pain, incurable diseases, and seizure disorders and called marijuana a possible substitute for addictive, potentially lethal opioid painkillers. Marijuana stocks rose amid rumors of the change, and Trump supported a Florida recreational legalization ballot measure.
