Trump and the Possible reclassification of Marijuana.

Donald Trump could be positioning himself to support a federal marijuana reclassification if political conditions align, according to those familiar with his policy instincts. While he has never championed legalization, Trump’s focus on states’ rights and deregulation makes cannabis a logical issue as most states now allow marijuana in some form. Reclassification—rather than full legalization—would allow him to argue he is reducing federal overreach while leaving control to the states. The political upside is clear. Moving marijuana to a lower schedule would ease banking restrictions, expand medical research, and relieve pressure on state-legal businesses without appearing soft on crime. With bipartisan public support and years of stalled Democratic promises, Trump could frame reclassification as a practical, results-driven policy win.
