Coalition for Cannabis Scheduling Reform

CCSR chair @adamgoers1 in the @washingtonpost: “For over 50 years, cannabis has been misclassified as a dangerous Schedule I controlled substance. This policy, once a centerpiece of our nation’s failed drug war, is finally coming to an end.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

It will also help usher in a new era of reform. We look forward to working with the Trump Administration and Congress to move these efforts forward.

Rescheduling will provide a wide range of benefits, including facilitating medical research, signaling to the criminal justice system that cannabis is a low priority, and providing tax relief to struggling small business owners.

The Coalition for Cannabis Scheduling Reform applauds President Trump’s historic decision to recognize cannabis as medicine and order it be moved down to Schedule III. For over 50 years, cannabis has been misclassified as a dangerous Schedule I controlled substance.

"Moving cannabis to Schedule III is a step in the right direction. It acknowledges its medical benefits, eases restrictions on scientific studies, and allows cannabis businesses to operate on a more level playing field by eliminating unfair tax burdens."

"This classification has severely hindered research, blocked access for patients, including millions of veterans, and burdened legitimate businesses with unnecessary regulations."
