President Trump's long-anticipated executive order to loosen U.S. restrictions on ma*****na promises to bring immediate relief for cannabis businesses — but only in some respects. And although rescheduling it as a lower-risk drug is touted as opening a new era for cannabis research, experts say it's not as simple as flipping a light switch.

"It's hard to see the big headlines of, 'Ma*****na rescheduled to [Schedule] III; ma*****na research will open,'" says Gillian Schauer, executive director of the nonpartisan Cannabis Regulators Association, which includes agencies from 46 states. "You know, those things are not true as of now."

That's because on its own, Trump's Dec. 18 order isn't enough to rewrite federal drug policy that has stood for more than 50 years.

"The Controlled Substances Act [of 1970] does not grant any president the authority to unilaterally reschedule a drug," Schauer says. Such changes are historically made through either a rulemaking process, or an act of Congress.

Many details will shape how the administration enacts Trump's order, affecting the timeline and scope for easing ma*****na restrictions. But when it does happen, rescheduling won't automatically revoke federal laws targeting ma*****na, and interstate ma*****na commerce would remain illegal, Schauer says.

It's not yet known how other policies might change.

"We don't know what will happen to federal drug testing requirements," Schauer says, until agencies issue guidance.

President Trump set the process in motion to ease federal restrictions on ma*****na. But his order doesn't automatically revoke laws targeting ma*****na, which remains illegal to transport over state lines.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that would reclassify ma*****na as a less dangerous drug and open new avenues for medical research, a major shift in federal drug policy that inches closer to what many states have done.

The switch would move ma*****na away from its current classification as a Schedule I drug, alongside he**in and L*D. Cannabis would instead be a Schedule III substance, like ketamine and some anabolic steroids.

Reclassification by the Drug Enforcement Administration would not make it legal for recreational use by adults nationwide, but it could change how the drug is regulated and reduce a hefty tax burden on the cannabis industry.

The change won't legalize recreational use nationwide but may alter regulation and taxation.

Happy Thanksgiving from Mayor Wando

“You know how it goes,” Friday added.

They chuckled.

As cannabis has become less stigmatized and more readily available in the U.S., industry experts said, Green Wednesday has begun to rival famed stoner holiday 4/20, which falls on April 20, as the day w**d dispensaries see the highest sales numbers and the most foot traffic.

At RISE, the merchandise was moving. Doorbuster deals like the exclusive Queen Cola — a long stem with 14 grams of ma*****na flower cut from the cluster at the very top of a cannabis plant, which experts say produces the highest concentration of resin — flew off the shelves at $100.

General manager Rick Gizzi said the batch of limited-edition Queen Cola flowers the store had in stock sold out in 15 minutes. Z

At a Maryland cannabis dispensary on ‘Green Wednesday,’ a day that has begun to rival 4/20 for the most w**d sales, one product sold out in 15 minutes.

Last night, the president signed the bill to end the shutdown, so the clock is now ticking. We have 364 days to save legal THC in America. For anyone who believes that THC should be legal under federal law, now is the time to come together, to act with one mind, and to speak with one voice to say: we demand that THC remain legal in America.
The next immediate thing we need is a clear signal from Brett Guthrie, chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, that he will fast-track a bill through his committee to meet this 364-day deadline. Chairman Guthrie represents Kentucky’s second Congressional district, which includes Bowling Green, Fort Knox, Owensboro, and the future of cannabis.
If you live in this district, please call the numbers below. If you know anyone in this district, share these numbers with them. The phone calls only matter if they are coming from inside the district. Leave a simple, polite message: “Save Cornbread and keep THC legal.”
So that’s the game: who do you know inside the map below?
