President Donald Trump could be looking at classifying cannabis as a less dangerous drug.
“We’re looking at reclassification,” Trump said, adding “it’s early.”
He said he planned to make a determination in the coming weeks.
The president said marijuana “does bad for the children,” but that easing penalties associated with it is a “very complicated subject” because some people support doing so.
Trump said he’d “heard great things having to do with medical” use of marijuana.
A potential move to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule I controlled substances to a Schedule III drug would make it significantly easier to buy and sell cannabis.
