Trump is stalling this. I quote- 'Trump in August said he was “looking at reclassification.” He would be finishing what started under President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, which followed the recommendation of federal health officials in proposing a rule to reclassify marijuana; that proposal has stalled since Trump took office.' 'The Biden administration pursued efforts to ease access to the drug, with health officials recommending reclassification to Schedule III in 2023. But health officials have said that those recommendations were slowed down by the Drug Enforcement Administration, which took months to undergo required administrative reviews and were not completed before the end of Biden’s term. The Drug Enforcement Administration was supposed to hold an administrative hearing on the proposal, with a judge hearing from experts on the health benefits and risks of marijuana. But the hearing has been in legal limbo since Trump took office, amid allegations from cannabis companies that the DEA was working to torpedo the measure.'

Trump needs any distraction he can get from the fact that USA cannot fight any war of any size anymore because China controls the supply of rare earths and without them the USA military is in paralysis. About the most they can do anymore is illegally hijack Venezuelan oil tankers.

Trump is overseeing the decline of US military based global hegemony.

Might as well get stoned and go with the flower power, peacenik.

Realistically those in that party will not change their opinion on this. It's not about logic. It's a religion for many on both teams. Very little reason in politics.
