What happened: President Trump signed an order to reclassify cannabis, placing it alongside Tylenol with codeine. This marks the most significant change in US drug policy since 1971.
Why it matters:
- This change could increase access to cannabis for medical and recreational use.
- It affects patients, consumers, and businesses involved in the cannabis industry.
MNN Take: Reclassifying cannabis reduces federal restrictions, potentially altering legal and medical landscapes across the US.
