President Trump is considering making a major marijuana law change in US

Donald Trump has confirmed that his administration is “looking at” reclassifying marijuana, a move that could significantly change the federal government’s stance on the drug. Speaking at a press conference on August 11, the 79-year-old president revealed that the administration is considering reducing marijuana’s classification as a dangerous substance.

Trump told reporters that the decision is still in the early stages but expressed hopes to decide within the next few weeks.

“We’re looking at reclassification, and we’ll make a determination over the next – I would say, over the next few weeks, and that determination hopefully will be the right one. It’s a very complicated subject,” he added.

The announcement comes just days after Trump attended a $1 million-per-head fundraiser with influential leaders from the marijuana industry, including Kim Rivers, the CEO of one of the largest cannabis companies, Trulieve, and top executives from Pfizer and the cryptocurrency world.
