What Does the Reclassification of Marijuana Mean to North Carolinians?
Marijuana is currently classified as a Schedule 1 drug. This classification is the same as other drugs, including heroin, ecstasy, and LSD. President Trump recently signed an executive order requesting Attorney General Pam Bondi to change the classification of marijuana. The order calls for reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule 3 drug. The change will allow for federally funded research because cannabis would be considered to have some legitimate medical purposes. There is no date yet determined for when the change will go into effect.
