Trump Reclassifies Marijuana: What It Means for Texas

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the federal government to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug. The move eases restrictions and could expand medical research and provide tax relief for cannabis-related businesses. However, the order does not legalize marijuana, and experts warn it may create new challenges for workplace drug testing, particularly in transportation and safety-sensitive jobs. There is currently no timeline for when the reclassification process will be finalized.
