U.S. Department of Justice is fast-tracking the rescheduling of cannabis, according to @MarioNawfal. This rescheduling would move cannabis from Schedule I, which includes substances like heroin with no accepted medical use, to Schedule III.
The shift would place cannabis in Schedule III, recognizing moderate abuse potential, and could reduce certain taxes while expanding related industries, according to reports; this represents a major update to federal drug policy.
