Breaking news: Cannabis moves from Schedule I to Schedule III

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie & TT jump on the mic to talk through the announcement that President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order initiating the move to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I drug to Schedule III — meaning marijuana would no longer be federally categorized alongside heroin and fentanyl.  They unpack what this does and does not mean right now, including the required 30-day public comment period, the likelihood of legal challenges, and why this is not an automatic or guaranteed rescheduling. TT explains the potential implications for cannabis research, federal oversight, banking access for cannabis businesses, and why stock exchange listings are still off the table.  The conversation also covers early reporting about a pilot Medicare reimbursement program for CBD, why this could be a meaningful foothold for older adults, and how rescheduling could finally allow for more legitimate, large-scale scientific research instead of fear-based assumptions.  Queenie and TT talk candidly about political motivations, expected pushback from the DEA and FDA, the ongoing uncertainty around hemp-derived THC restrictions, and the possible global ripple effects of a change in U.S. drug policy.  Recorded within hours of the announcement, this episode captures a real-time reaction to a major moment in cannabis policy — with cautious optimism, skepticism, and the clear understanding that we’re officially entering a new phase of the conversation.
