JUST IN: Congress preparing bill to deschedule marijuana

[Kevin @OneillKevin7]

@RepThomasMassie Add de scheduling cannabis to the legislation and see who’s who. Or safe banking . Seems there’s support from both sides

[Kevin @OneillKevin7]

@AMartinelliWA Soon as in Wednesday Thursday Friday 🤞🏼comman

[Kevin @OneillKevin7]

@Bruce_LeVell Sounds like a great idea ! Where are we on it ?

[Maymies @Tringers__]

Man with Parkinson’s disease tries marijuana for the first time.

[Kevin @OneillKevin7]

@Bruce_LeVell Then there is also chuck schumer trying to steal the cannabis election issue and pander to voters. Time for R’s to pass safe banking and prove a point !

[Kevin @OneillKevin7]

@SenSchumer If you are truly sincere about cannabis legalization put safe banking up for a vote , For the love of god do some thing tangible!!!

For more than 50 years, Cannabis was placed in the same federal category as heroine.

Now that category has changed.

After decades of debate, the federal government has moved marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.

That means cannabis is no longer classified alongside drugs such as heroine and L/S/D, which are defined as having a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use under federal law.

The change does not make Marijuana federally legal.

Recreational Cannabis remains illegal under federal law, and interstate cannabis sales are still prohibited.

But the decision could have major consequences for science.

For years, researchers argued that Schedule I restrictions made marijuana unusually difficult to study.

Scientists often needed special licenses, faced strict federal rules, and had limited access to cannabis products that did not match what people were actually using.

Moving cannabis to Schedule III could make it easier to run clinical trials, study specific formulations, and better understand how marijuana affects pain, nausea, appetite, memory, mental health, and addiction risk.

The shift comes as cannabis use in the United States has increased sharply and medical marijuana has become legal in most states.

Researchers say the new classification does not prove cannabis is harmless.

Instead, it may finally make it easier to answer some of the biggest questions about where marijuana helps, where it harms, and who is most at risk.

Be honest

Do yoo believe marijuana is safer than alcohol? 🍃 🍻

🚨LATEST: Cannabis is officially off the US government's most restricted drug list

[Shining Science @ShiningScience]

Cannabis was just removed from the same category as heroin in the U.S.

The historic federal reclassification of cannabis to Schedule III marks a major turning point, promising to bypass decades of research restrictions and help scientists fully study its true medical potential.

For more than 55 years, the federal government categorized marijuana alongside highly restricted substances like heroin and LSD under Schedule I.

By shifting cannabis to Schedule III, the government has recognized its potential medical applications, breaking a decades-long bottleneck for the scientific community. While the reclassification does not legalize recreational use or allow interstate commerce under federal law, it lifts the intense bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles that have historically stifled clinical research.

Researchers will now find it significantly easier to conduct clinical trials, study diverse formulations, and obtain cannabis products that accurately reflect what is sold in state-regulated markets.

As more states establish medical marijuana programs, this reform represents a vital step toward gathering hard scientific data. Rather than declaring cannabis completely harmless, scientists emphasize that this policy shift is about finding clear answers regarding the risks, benefits, and optimal clinical uses of the plant.

Cannabis has been removed from the same federal category as heroin.

After more than 55 years the federal government has reclassified marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.

This change means cannabis is no longer grouped with substances like heroin and LSD which are viewed as having a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.

The move does not legalize marijuana at the federal level. Recreational use remains illegal under federal law and interstate sales are still prohibited.

However the rescheduling is expected to have significant effects on medical research. For decades scientists noted that the Schedule I classification created major barriers to studying cannabis. Researchers had to navigate extra licensing requirements strict federal oversight and limited access to products that often did not match what consumers actually use.

Placing cannabis in Schedule III should simplify the process for conducting clinical trials examining specific formulations and gaining clearer insights into how marijuana influences pain nausea appetite memory mental health and addiction risk.

The decision arrives at a time when cannabis use across the United States has increased substantially and medical marijuana programs operate legally in most states.

Scientists emphasize that rescheduling does not mean cannabis is entirely safe. Rather it opens the door to more rigorous research that can finally provide better answers about where marijuana offers benefits where it causes harm and which individuals face the greatest risks.

The American Bankers Association is urging Congress to pass the SAFE Banking Act, saying it would "improve public safety, help the government combat illicit finance, and provide a critical measure of certainty in response to the evolving legal landscape". https://t.co/Nux1PMXprb

[Anthony Martinelli @AMartinelliWA]

According to a senior advisor to President Trump who spoke with The Marijuana Herald, during a recent phone call with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Trump personally urged him to allow a full Senate vote on the bipartisan SAFE Banking Act. https://t.co/4gvl8Pgd5r

[Anthony Martinelli @AMartinelliWA]

Around a dozen Senate Democrats are planning to soon refile the federal legalization bill, the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA), a Senate staffer tells The Marijuana Herald, with the move intended in part to counter Trump’s increasingly pro-cannabis agenda.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump Reclassifies Marijuana To Schedule III – “I PROMISED COMMON SENSE. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I’M DOING.” [VIDEO]

🔥 In a bold move grounded in medical science and realism, President Trump has reclassified marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, placing it alongside codeine-based medications. The decision marks a major policy shift rooted in logic, not ideology.

🚨 A HISTORIC POLICY SHIFT BASED ON REALITY

[Kevin @OneillKevin7]

@Lifeisshort8888 1 year ago no 1 believed Trump would move on medical schedule 3. 10 days from adult use schedule 3 hearings no one believes this admin wants to steal the election issue from the democrats . It’s been reported later this summer they will go further and look at descheduling…..

🚨 NOW: The US Supreme Court has just unanimously ruled IN FAVOR of a Texas man who had his gun rights stripped because he uses marijuana

"It was whether or not you could go after someone who you discovered was a habitual drug user in this case marijuana."

"And then disqualify them from owning or possessing a gun. The court has got a unanimous opinion essentially. There are all kinds of factions and concurrences, but nobody's dissenting here saying that the prosecution of this individual or going after this individual based on his drug usage and gun ownership violates the Second Amendment."
