Trump expected to expand access to cannabis in a major shift in drug policy

President Donald Trump is poised to sign an executive order that would significantly change U. S. drug policy by reclassifying cannabis from a Schedule I narcotic to a Schedule III drug. This shift, anticipated to facilitate greater research into cannabis's benefits, comes as 24 states currently permit its recreational use, while many others allow medical usage.
