💨 Abstract

President Trump is set to sign an executive order rescheduling marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug, a significant shift in U.S. drug policy. This change, expected on Thursday, aims to facilitate more research, reduce stigma, and ease tax burdens for state-licensed dispensaries. While marijuana will remain illegal for recreational use federally, the move could expand medical uses and attract new investments.
