What marijuana reclassification means and impacts of its reschedulin

Marijuana would no longer be considered one of the most risky and tightly controlled drugs, under a recommendation by Attorney General Merrick Garland to loosen restrictions on cannabis.

Garland is calling for the reclassification of marijuana from its long-criticized status as a Schedule I substance. This would not legalize or decriminalize cannabis, but it would ease barriers to research and boost the bottom lines of legal businesses.

The move, if enacted, would mark a historic shift in federal policy toward a drug that a majority of Americans can now legally buy in their states. But the implications of rescheduling are still murky, and cannabis advocates contend it would not end the War on Drugs or eliminate the regulatory challenges.
