The Skanner News - What Marijuana Reclassification Means for the United States

WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is moving toward reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The Justice Department proposal would recognize the medical uses of cannabis but wouldn’t legalize it for recreational use. The proposal still faces a potentially lengthy review process, but if is approved it could have wide-ranging effects. It could make marijuana research easier. It could reduce taxes for legal cannabis businesses. Some advocates for legalized weed say the move doesn t go far enough, while opponents say it goes too far.
