Trump Supports Marijuana Reclassification Proposal

Donald Trump has announced his support for reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule III drug, marking a significant shift in U.S. federal policy and aligning him with his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris. This is the first time both major-party presidential candidates have endorsed broad cannabis reform, reflecting a growing public consensus on legalization. Trump's statement comes ahead of a pivotal debate, where he may challenge Harris about her past enforcement of cannabis laws during her tenure as district attorney. He emphasized focusing on medical research related to marijuana and expressed support for a Florida proposal allowing unrestricted adult sales. Harris has long advocated for decriminalization and criticized the current classification of marijuana alongside more dangerous drugs. This development not only indicates a potential change in federal regulations but also highlights Trump's strategy to appeal to nonwhite male voters affected by drug prosecutions.
