The Justice Department has formally proposed a rule that would reclassify marijuana into a class of less dangerous drugs if officially approved.sent to the federal register will reclassify marijuana from its current spot as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act to a Schedule III drug.
Biden and a growing number of lawmakers from both major political parties have been pushing for the DEA decision as marijuana has become increasingly decriminalized and accepted, particularly by younger people. Some critics argue the DEA shouldn’t change course on marijuana, saying rescheduling isn’t necessary and could lead to harmful side effects. Others argue marijuana should be treated the way alcohol is.
