It is on a state level, no one cares what the feds have to say about it.

In the United States, cannabis is legal in 40 of 50 states for medical use and 24 states for recreational use. Just imagine what the market would be worth if all states had medical and recreational available.

The overwhelming majority of drug law enforcement takes place at the state and local level of policing, so if the states are legalizing that's a big deal.

States literally have a legal cannabis market.

It been like that for years now. If they break the state laws, the state gets the feds involved.

Now in lemon juice, replacing corn syrup, additive to fuel, used as lotion before hand shakes. Sadly now it is in everything why no one can be concerned with consent and things go all rock the innocent and it is just done.

That is debatable. The Federal government bans it as a schedule 1 drug but if you believe in a Madisonian government then the federal government has exceeded its vested scope of its authority in enacting any law that does not fall within the scope of the enumerated powers. These enumerated powers do not include passing substance abuse laws. That's why alcohol prohibition had to be passed as a constitutional amendment, and why the Federal government threatened to withhold federal highway funding from states that didn't raise their drinking age to 21.

Of course, the courts have sided with expansionist Hamiltonian readings of the constitution in more recent years, in large part because of the precedents set when F.D.R. threatened to pack the courts (an unpopular extortionist move that the congress defeated, but the courts capitulated anyway) so it's not an argument that is going to keep you out of prison should you get caught, but still probably the more genuine one, and the states often pass 10th amendment resolutions trying to reassert their jurisdictional authority.

But also the Federal government agreed not to prosecute marijuana users in states that decided to legalize it during his presidency. That does not mean Trump won't though, or won't pursue cases from during the Obama era.

We will see how things go, just make it a taxable product already and everyone wins. Except big pharma and the DEA (hopefully)

President Trump Says “We’ll Be Moving Forward Soon” With Marijuana Rescheduling in Meeting With House Lawmakers

In a private meeting last week with two members of the U.S. House of Representatives, President Donald Trump said, “We’ll be moving forward soon with rescheduling marijuana”. This is according to a staffer for one of the lawmakers present.

The comment marks Trump’s first known statement this year on the federal marijuana rescheduling process, which began under former President Joe Biden.

In 2022, then-President Biden directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review marijuana’s status under the Controlled Substances Act. In August 2023, HHS formally recommended moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, a less restrictive category. The DEA subsequently conducted a public comment period in which over 40,000 comments were submitted, with over 90% either in support of rescheduling or going further by legalizing or descheduling. Despite this, the process was put on hold earlier this year.

Trump’s comments come at a pivotal time. The Senate is widely expected to confirm Terrence Cole as the new DEA Administrator in the coming days. Cole, during confirmation discussions, said rescheduling marijuana would be one of his top priorities if he’s confirmed.

Although President Trump is not the one who initiated the recent federal rescheduling review, and it will be up to the DEA on the next steps, his personal commitment during this closed-door meeting adds significant political momentum to the bipartisan push currently underway to reform federal cannabis policies.

If marijuana is moved to Schedule III, it will legalize the prescription use of FDA-approved cannabis medicines nationwide, while also providing medical cannabis businesses and patients who are following state law a bevy of federal protections not currently afforded to them.

According to the staffer, Trump’s comments came in response to one of the lawmakers asking Trump where the administration stands on cannabis reform. Trump made no additional cannabis-related comments, as the conversation quickly moved to other topics.

The Marijuana Herald was able to verify that the staffer works for a member of Congress, but we could not independently verify their claims.
