Cannabis and Rescheduling to Schedule III

In this week’s episode, Ryan dives into the hot topic of cannabis rescheduling and breaks down what it really means for patients, businesses, and people in prohibition states. He explains how the Controlled Substances Act works, the differences between Schedule 1, 2, and 3, and why moving cannabis to Schedule 3 could be one of the most significant federal shifts in decades. From potential research expansion, tax relief, and improved banking access to increased patient trust, better medical options, and possible insurance coverage, Ryan explores the many ways this change could shape the future of cannabis. He also covers what would not change, the impact on restrictive states, and the risks and limitations that come with rescheduling, giving listeners a clear and balanced view of what lies ahead.
