/ TOP THINGS TO KNOW
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration is moving forward with marijuana rescheduling because it is "overwhelmingly popular with the vast majority of Americans" and will help people "who need it for medical treatment."
  • "The president was willing to take this step to do that at the behest of the American public, who largely support it, and many of his health advisors on his team who he spoke with about it."
The Drug Enforcement Administration announced it will begin accepting applications this week for medical marijuana businesses to apply for federal protections being granted under the Trump administration's cannabis rescheduling process.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) signed a bill to block an automatic review that could have legalized medical cannabis under state law following federal marijuana rescheduling.
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R) has directed state agencies to meet with medical cannabis advocates as federal marijuana rescheduling takes effect.
Steph Sherer of Americans for Safe Access argues in a new Marijuana Moment op-ed that federal cannabis rescheduling will upend policies discriminating against patients in housing, employment and healthcare.
  • "The recognition of cannabis as a legitimate medicine means that patients and their caregivers are no longer considered criminals under federal law. They have federal rights. Those rights now protect patients in housing, employment, healthcare and in their military careers."
The Nebraska Supreme Court held a hearing in a lawsuit that seeks to overturn voter-approved medical cannabis legalization because, as the former state senator who filed it argues, the policy is preempted by federal law.

That can’t be said for all of my opponents."
