What marijuana reclassification means and impacts of its reschedulin

Marijuana would no longer be considered one of the most risky and tightly controlled drugs, under a recommendation by Attorney General Merrick Garland to loosen restrictions on cannabis.

Garland is calling for the reclassification of marijuana from its long-criticized status as a Schedule I substance. This would not legalize or decriminalize cannabis, but it would ease barriers to research and boost the bottom lines of legal businesses.
