Justice Department reclassifies state-licensed marijuana as less dangerous drug under new policy

The Justice Department announced a significant shift in its stance on marijuana, reclassifying state-licensed medical marijuana as a less dangerous drug under an order signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. This change reverses decades-old policy and is likely to have far-reaching implications for the industry and patients relying on the medication. The move is seen as a more pragmatic approach to regulating the use of marijuana, particularly in states where it has been legalized for medical purposes.
