President Donald Trump says his administration is “looking at” moving marijuana from Schedule I, the same federal category as heroin, to the less restrictive Schedule III, and will “make a determination over the next few weeks.” The comments, made at a White House press conference on August 12, came after months of speculation and industry lobbying.
The potential shift would align with recommendations made by the Department of Health and Human Services last year and is now reflected in a new bill introduced in Congress: the Marijuana 1-to-3 Act of 2025.

Speaking to reporters in the White House briefing room, Trump said:

But medical, and, you know, for pain and various things.”
The remarks followed reporting that at a $1 million-a-plate fundraiser earlier this month, Trump told donors, including Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers, that he was interested in the change. Multiple outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and CNN, confirmed the exchange.
