The federal government is taking a rare step toward loosening decades of strict marijuana policy. President Trump has signed an order directing the reclassification of marijuana, a move that could expand medical research, reshape the cannabis industry, and ease access to banking and investment. While marijuana would remain illegal under federal law, the shift marks a significant change in how Washington treats the drug. The decision has drawn praise from Democrats, sharp criticism from many Republicans, and fresh debate over public health, enforcement, and regulation. Trevor Hunnicutt with Reuters has the full story.
