Many of you have been asking: “Trump signed an Executive Order about moving ma*****na to Schedule III… so what does that mean for patients and consumers?”
We just published a plain-English breakdown with help from a real cannabis lawyer (Jason Adelstone) so you don’t have to wade through legal jargon or clickbait headlines.
Here’s the biggest takeaway:
Schedule III talk does NOT mean cannabis is suddenly “federally legal,” and it does not make it safe to travel with—especially through airports or onto federal property.
What we cover in the article:
- When Schedule III could actually start (and why timelines are messy)
- What stays illegal federally (yes—even for medical)
- Travel, federal land, housing, drug testing, immigration considerations
- Whether doctors can prescribe (spoiler: not automatically)
- What this could mean long-term for research, labeling, and safety
