Trump teams tells agencies to prepare for loosening federal restrictions on marijuana

The Trump administration has warned federal agencies to prepare for the imminent loosening of federal restrictions on marijuana, according to a new report.

The Drug Enforcement Agency is expected to announce the first steps towards reclassifying the drug as soon as this week, starting with an administrative hearing, sources told The Washington Post.

Such changes would make it easier for scientists and the DEA to study marijuana for medical purposes. The drug is currently a Schedule I classification – the same as LSD, ecstasy and heroin – and would be moved to a Schedule II class, the sources said.

Trump signed an executive order to continue work started under Joe Biden to reclassify the drug last December. The Biden administration had previously recommended that marijuana be reclassified as a Schedule III drug.
