The order signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche does not legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use under U.S. law. But it changes the way it’s regulated. The measure reflects a move to treat state-licensed medical cannabis more like other regulated medicines, rather than a controlled substance on par with heroin. Supporters say the change could ease regulatory burdens and support research, while opponents argue it risks expanding access and blurring lines between medical use and illegal distribution. The development represents a landmark shift in federal drug policy, even as many questions remain about implementation and impact on patients and states. Officials caution effects depend on regulation. Like 👍 Subscribe 🔔 and stay informed. Visit NHENews.COM for more top headlines. A9Nbp4otFoi SlvTk75sHSu RAEbiZVKhx2 9uKPbd2wcyz qcUQGFjh9aF
