Trump reclassifies medical marijuana

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has delivered on a major campaign promise by signing a federal order to reclassify medical marijuana.

This move immediately eases research barriers and grants significant tax relief to state-licensed cannabis operators across 40 states.

While the action stops short of full federal legalization, it represents the most significant change to U.S. drug policy in over five decades.

The decision has sparked a rally in Canadian and American pot stocks, even as some conservative allies express concern over the administration's new direction.
