White House Confirms Trump Will ‘Address Marijuana Rescheduling’ Thursday, But Reported Details On Final Decision Are ‘Speculation’​

A White House spokesperson has confirmed to Marijuana Moment that President Donald Trump is “currently expected to address marijuana rescheduling” on Thursday, though they added that “any details of this potential action until officially announced by the White House are speculation.”

This comes amid a rapidly churning rumor mill about the president’s potential plans to issue an executive order directing the attorney general to proceed with a proposal to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

Sources familiar with the administration’s planning tell Marijuana Moment that an announcement on the rescheduling move is planned for 1:30pm ET and that Trump will be surrounded by various cannabis industry and movement stakeholders when signing the order.

As recently reported, the president’s executive order may also address ancillary issues related to CBD coverage through federal Medicare and a call for congressional action on cannabis banking.

There are also rumors that a rescheduling decision will be coupled with presidential clemency, though the scope of that potential relief is unclear. That said, the White House spokesperson made clear that the deluge of details about the administration’s plans are speculative for now.

But according to NBC News, the executive order may contain an explicit push from the president urging Congress to pass a bipartisan bill titled the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act, which would prevent federal regulators for penalizing financial institutions simply for working with state-licensed marijuana businesses.

Trump Signs Executive Order To Reclassify Marijuana By Removing It From Schedule I​

Marijuana will be federally rescheduled under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Thursday.

The directive also aims to address federal hemp laws to promote access to full-spectrum CBD that could be covered under federal health insurance plans.

Months after Trump said a decision on the cannabis reform proposal was imminent, the president issued the directive for agencies to begin moving forward with the plan to transfer cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

“We have people begging for me to do this, people that are in great pain for decades,” Trump said. “This action has been requested by American patients suffering from extreme pain, incurable diseases, aggressive cancers, seizure disorders, neurological problems and more—including numerous veterans with service-related injuries and older Americans who live with chronic medical problems that severely degrade their quality of life.”

This marks one of the most significant developments in federal marijuana policy since its prohibition a half a century ago, with a Schedule III reclassification recognizing that marijuana has medical value and a lower abuse potential compared to other Schedule I drugs like heroin.
